Types and Treatment of Orthopedic Injuries
Orthopedic injury is a category of injury affecting the bones, joints, or muscles. There are a wide variety of possible orthopedic injuries affecting many parts of the body. Orthopedic injuries may include fractures, particularly non-union of a fracture; degenerative diseases such as arthritis; and repeated stress injuries such as carpal tunnel. Back problems, hip and knee problems, and other conditions of the musculoskeletal system are also considered orthopedic injuries.
Treatments for orthopedic injuries vary as widely as the injuries themselves, but usually include physical therapy, pain medication, bracing (in the case of repeated injury or fractures) , and surgery. Common surgeries include hip and knee replacements, arthroscopic surgery, spinal surgery, joint reconstruction, and neck surgery.
