Clinical Orthopedics

About Course

Clinical Orthopaedics is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of disorders and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This field plays a critical role in restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving the quality of life for patients of all ages. Through a combination of clinical assessment, surgical techniques, and therapeutic interventions, orthopaedic specialists address a wide range of conditions, from fractures and arthritis to congenital deformities and sports injuries. As a discipline, Clinical Orthopaedics integrates medical knowledge with hands-on skills, making it essential for students pursuing careers in surgery, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and trauma care.
