Orthopedic surgery involves the treatment of conditions and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves of the body. This can involve procedures to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases and other conditions. Orthopedics can also be used for knee, hip or other joint replacements.
