began with the treatment of crippled children by means of first braces, and then exercise. The word "orthopaedics is derived from two Greek words: orthos ("straight") and pais ("child"). Even today conservative, noninvasive medical and physical methods nearly always are used if possible to restore form and/or function. Patient care is individualized. |
As a branch of medicine and a contemporary surgical specialty, orthopaedics is concerned with the diagnosis, care and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders: injury to or disease of the body's system of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. |

Consequently, orthopaedists treat a disproportionate number of geriatric and pediatric patients in comparison with their ratio in the general population. Our orthopaedic services include:
