What Are the Common Diseases in Orthopedic Surgery?
Disease description:
I saw the orthopedic surgery department sign today. Aside from knowing that fractures require treatment in orthopedics, I’d like to ask: What are the common conditions treated in orthopedic surgery?

Typically, such conditions arise from injuries caused by external forces or disease symptoms resulting from inflammation. Common manifestations include fractures of the limbs, joint swelling and pain, and limb deformities. Specific examples encompass upper-limb fractures, lower-limb fractures, and hip fractures. The category also includes open wounds—such as various open injuries and lacerations caused by sharp objects. Approximately two-thirds of cases involve various limb strains, including tendinitis, fasciitis, and synovitis.
