Case Studies in Orthopedics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887406138)

Orthopedics refers to a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues that provide structure, support and movement to the body. These include fractures, sprains, strains, dislocations, sports injuries, arthritis, spine disorders, deformities, and trauma-related injuries. Orthopedics utilizes both surgical and non-surgical methods to treat these conditions, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Prominent non-surgical treatments in orthopedics include physical therapy, medication management, immobilization with casts or braces, joint injections, and rehabilitation programs. Surgical interventions can range from minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy, to major and complicated surgeries, such as joint replacements or spinal fusion. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of orthopedics. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
