Orthopaedics & Rheumatology
Orthopaedics and Rheumatology are two interconnected fields dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal disorders and diseases affecting the joints, bones, and soft tissues. Orthopaedics primarily focuses on surgical and non-surgical interventions for conditions such as fractures, arthritis, and sports injuries, while rheumatology specializes in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that affect the joints, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
