Orthopaedic Surgery a specialised field of medicine that examines bones and joints. Bones and joints form the
skeleton of the human body, providing support and enabling movement. Healthy bones are essential for overall health
and well-being.
To maintain healthy bones and joints, it is important to engage in regular physical activity, eat a balanced diet
that includes calcium and vitamin D, and avoid excessive alcohol and tobacco use.
Early diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint pain can help to manage symptoms and prevent further damage. This can
include physiotherapy, medications, and in some cases, surgery.
