orthopedics
A medical clinic or office specializing in the treatment and repair of broken or misaligned bones.
An orthopedics office is a medical clinic or doctor's office specializing in the treatment and repair of broken or misaligned bones, either as the result of injury, genetic defect, illness, overuse, or degeneration. Treatments may include surgery as well as setting parts of the body in casts, braces, or other forms of protective or corrective devices.
The bone condition can result from injury, illness, congenital factors, overuse, or degeneration. The cause does not need to be a recent accident.
Care can involve surgery or protective and corrective devices. Casts and braces are examples, without requiring every patient to receive the same treatment.
