Answer

An orthopaedic doctor treats conditions related to the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and spine. They specialize in diagnosing and managing injuries, degenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders that affect movement and cause pain.

Orthopaedic doctors commonly treat fractures, arthritis, joint pain, ligament tears (ACL), meniscus injuries, hip disorders, Avascular Necrosis (AVN), sports injuries, back pain, and slip disc problems. They also manage age-related conditions like osteoporosis and knee or hip degeneration.

Treatment may include medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle modification, injections, arthroscopy, fracture surgery, and joint replacement procedures such as knee or hip replacement.

In simple terms, an orthopaedic doctor helps restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve overall bone and joint health.
