Index of trauma and orthopaedics articles
Index of articles on trauma and orthopaedics.
This index covers articles on trauma and orthopaedics, the surgical field focused on the musculoskeletal system. Surgeons in this specialty treat injuries to muscles and bones, sports-related damage, degenerative conditions, infections, bone tumours, and limb deformities present from birth, using both operations and non-surgical methods. A sub-specialty called trauma surgery or traumatology handles the surgical care of fractures, serious injuries, and patients with multiple injuries.
