Orthopaedics 

Orthopaedic conditions can result from disease or injury to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. The severity of orthopaedic conditions can vary and range from joint pain, sports injuries, osteoporosis, and foot and ankle problems, to name a few. Depending on the condition, you may require the expertise of an orthopaedic specialist who will assess and treat the condition and determine if surgery is needed.
