What is orthopedics?
Orthopedics is a surgical specialty devoted to the treatment of disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, which includes the upper and lower extremities and the spine. The discipline focuses on the treatment of bone pathologies, especially fractures, as well as disorders of ligaments, muscles, tendons, and joints.
Orthopedics deals with both congenital and acquired pathologies, in contrast to traumatology, which focuses specifically on injuries resulting from trauma, such as fractures or burns.
Conditions treated by orthopedic surgeons
Orthopedic surgeons treat a wide variety of problems, including:
- Sprains: Ligaments damaged by sudden movement.
- Growth abnormalities: Scoliosis, kyphosis, and other spinal deformities.
- Luxations: Displaced joints.
- Fractures: Broken bones that require surgical repair.
- Herniated discs: Disc problems that cause back pain.
- Sequelae of diseases: Rheumatoid arthritis, infection or inflammation that affects the joints.
The orthopedic surgeon is a specialist whose mission is to correct dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system. Using the latest surgical techniques, they help patients regain optimal mobility and improve their quality of life.

Orthopedic examination process in Turkey
The orthopedic examination is performed by an orthopedist to diagnose acute, chronic or degenerative pathologies affecting the spine and upper and lower limbs. It is essential to identify the source of pain and functional limitations and to establish a personalized treatment plan.
The examination consists of several stages:
- Medical history: Collection of medical history and current symptoms.
- Physical examination: Assessment of posture, palpation of tissues, range of motion, and muscle strength testing.
- Complementary tests: such as imaging tests (X-rays, MRI or CT scans) to obtain details of internal structures.
- Functional tests: Specific tests to analyze joints and their stability.
- Diagnosis and treatment: Development of a personalized plan that includes exercises, therapies, medications, or surgery, if necessary.
An orthopedic evaluation is critical to effective treatment of musculoskeletal pain and disorders. Consult a specialist if pain persists.
