The term ‘general orthopaedics’ covers the list of conditions of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles that are normally seen in any specialist orthopaedic clinic.
Despite use of the word ‘general’, within the field of orthopaedics the various body parts tend to be covered by consultants who specifically specialise in just one (or sometimes two) particular area(s) of the body, for example;
- Knee
- Hip
- Foot and Ankle
- Upper Limb (Shoulder and Elbow)
- Hand and Wrist
- Spine
- Rheumatology
The conditions that most commonly fall under the remit of orthopaedics are:
- Fractures
- Ligament tears / sprains
- Cartilage tears / damage
- Joint degeneration / arthritis.
