Orthopaedics describes a branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopaedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumours and congenital disorders. Many developments in orthopaedic surgery have resulted from experiences during wartime. Originally, the term orthopaedics meant the correcting of musculoskeletal deformities in children. The use of exercise, manipulation and splinting was advocated to try and treat deformities in children.
