Orthopaedic Wounds encompass a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other structures of the human body. Common Orthopaedic wounds include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, tendonitis, bursitis, and musculoskeletal infections. These conditions can result from aging, trauma, overuse, genetic factors, or autoimmune processes. Osteoarthritis, characterized by joint cartilage degeneration, leads to pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder causing joint inflammation. Osteoporosis involves reduced bone density and increased fracture risk. Tendonitis and bursitis affect tendons and bursae, causing inflammation and pain. Orthopaedic wounds often manifest with symptoms such as pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and deformities. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and sometimes laboratory tests. Treatment modalities include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgical interventions such as joint replacement or arthroscopic procedures. Orthopaedic specialists play a crucial role in managing and treating these conditions, focusing on improving patients' quality of life, restoring function, and preventing further musculoskeletal deterioration. Advances in research and treatment approaches continue to enhance the understanding and management of Orthopaedic wounds.
