Common diseases in orthopedic surgery can be categorized into the following groups: 1. Spinal system disorders: such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, and spinal stenosis, which often cause symptoms including neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain. 2. Limb injuries: including fractures, contusions, and open wounds, such as clavicle fractures, upper limb fractures, and lower limb fractures, which are common types of injuries treated in orthopedic surgery. 3. Joint diseases: such as osteoarthritis of the knee joint and osteoarthritis of the ankle joint, which affect normal joint function. 4. Hand surgery conditions: such as tendon injuries and stenosing tenosynovitis, which commonly occur during hand movements and labor. 5. Tumorous conditions: such as osteosarcoma and osteochondroma, which are less common but still require attention. These diseases cover the primary scope of diagnosis and treatment in orthopedic surgery. If related symptoms occur, timely medical consultation and examination are recommended.
