Orthopedic Conditions
Orthopedic conditions cover all conditions connected with the bones, joints, nerves and muscles. It is a very large field of medicine. Orthopedic medicine treats a wide range of conditions such as arthritis, diabetic foot, sciatica, and infections after fracture, Lyme’s disease, and cerebral palsy and many more.
Orthopedic surgeons utilize imaging technology to diagnose conditions in joints, to measure the amount of atrophy in bones as in osteoporosis and to accurately assess range of motion in affected areas such as the shoulder.
