ORTHOPEDICS
The term “orthopaedics” (or “orthopedics” in contemporary usage) is rooted in the Greek words ortho (straight) and pais (child). Early orthopedic medicine focused on treating children with spine, limb and other bone-related birth abnormalities. Today, the specialty has evolved significantly to encompass treating patients of all ages for a wide variety of injuries and conditions. The orthopedic surgeon has become the primary care physician of the musculoskeletal system.
Orthopedics is a medical specialty practice that concentrates on injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. RGH Orthopedic Clinic is committed to the overall health of this complex system for patients. Our Orthopedic Specialists manage specific problems of the musculoskeletal system, which involves:
