Orthopedics in Romania

A branch of medicine concerned with the correction of deformities of bones or muscles. Orthopaedic surgeons use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal (bones, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments) trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumours and congenital disorders. Common procedures include knee and hip replacements, sports injuries like the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ALC) Reconstruction and Tennis Elbow. Many of these surgeries can be carried out using Keyhole Surgery, therefore causing minimal scarring.
