Orthopaedics is also known as orthopaedic surgery. It is a specialty or discipline of medicine that specializes in the study of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the musculoskeletal system, the use of drugs, surgery and physical methods to maintain and develop the normal form and function of this system, as well as the treatment of diseases of this system.
With the development and progress of science and technology, orthopedics has made great progress in diagnosis and treatment. The establishment and development of hand surgery has rapidly popularized and improved the diagnosis and treatment techniques of hand trauma; the extensive development of microsurgery has made the anastomosis and release of multi-toe free reconstructed hands, nerve bundles, and the anastomosis between small arteries of 0.2mm no longer a myth.
The use of new surgical treatment of scoliosis, cervical spondylosis and cervical spinal stenosis and other diseases have achieved better orthopaedic results; various effective surgical procedures for arthritis patients have made patients who have been bedridden for many years to stand up again; the treatment of malignant bone tumors has evolved from a single amputation to an integrated treatment, which has improved the cure rate and survival rate of the surgery.
The clinical application of arthroscopy not only solves the diagnosis of some difficult joint diseases, but also realizes the synchronization of diagnosis and treatment. With the development of material science, some complex fractures can also be treated with internal fixation. The function and performance of artificial joints and artificial vertebrae are also more perfect.
In short, the development of orthopedic science and basic medicine, especially experimental medicine and materials science development is inseparable.
When patients need to go to the orthopedic medical treatment, must choose the regular professional hospital for medical treatment.
