Orthopaedic Surgery
The Orthopaedic Surgery team at the MSK Centre provides evidence-based, patient-centered, musculoskeletal care to restore physical function and alleviate suffering in our patients.
What is Orthopaedic Surgery?
Orthopaedic surgery is a branch of medicine that involves the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Orthopeadic surgeons use both non-surgical and surgical modalities to treat sports-related injuries, musculoskeletal trauma, degenerative conditions, congenital disorders, infections, and tumors.
