What is the term Orthopaedic?

The term orthopaedics comes from the Greek and literally means the doctrine of the upright child . Orthopaedics is a field of medicine that deals with the treatment of congenital malformations, the prevention and therapy of chronic diseases and injuries to the musculoskeletal system. In addition to diagnosing the respective cause of the disease, various therapy options are examined and rehabilitation methods are developed for the patient.


The human musculoskeletal system is a complex system. Not only bones, muscles and joints, but also tendons, vessels, nerves, ligaments and bursa perform important tasks. If problems arise in one of the areas mentioned, this can lead to pain or restricted mobility, which is uncomfortable for the patient and restricts the quality of life. It is important to counteract this.


What are the duties of an Orthopaedic surgeon?

The aim of Orthopaedics and thus the core task of an orthopedist is to promote the development of the musculoskeletal system and to treat degenerative changes .


An orthopedic surgeon asks the patient specific questions about the individual complaints and uses a detailed manual examination to determine the causes of the problems. Additional diagnostic methods such as x-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance tomography are also used to support the anamnesis. The orthopedic surgeon then explains the treatment options.


The orthopedist treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system. These are diseases and injuries to the bones, joints , tendons and ligaments . The specialist in orthopedics or trauma surgery then uses operative or non-operative (in the form of splint treatment or with corsets) measures that aid posture and movements.


The orthopedic surgeon also prescribes orthopedic aids if necessary. He also gives tips on proper nutrition , for example in the case of osteoporosis.
