Orthopedics is the clinical department for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and peripheral nerves, covering multiple subspecialties such as trauma, spine, joints and sports medicine. The musculoskeletal system supports human activity; orthopedic conditions may present as acute injuries or chronic degeneration, and the department emphasizes the equal importance of functional reconstruction and rehabilitation. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: traumatic conditions such as fractures of the extremities, joint dislocations and ligament injuries; spinal conditions including lumbar disc herniation, cervical spondylosis and spinal fractures; joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis and rheumatoid arthritis; osteoporosis and its fractures; and sports injuries including meniscal tears and rotator cuff injuries. For symptoms including neck, shoulder, lower back and leg pain, joint swelling and pain, limited mobility and limb deformity, the department provides systematic diagnosis and treatment. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Orthopedics performs various surgical procedures including internal fixation of extremity fractures, joint replacement, spinal decompression and fusion, and arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery. Arthroscopic techniques are used for meniscal repair, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and rotator cuff repair, with minimal trauma and rapid recovery. Artificial hip and knee replacement significantly improve pain and function in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis. The department combines perioperative rehabilitation guidance with postoperative functional exercise programs to help patients resume daily life as soon as possible. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Individuals with recurrent neck, shoulder, lower back or leg pain affecting daily life, those with limb swelling and pain or limited mobility after falls or trauma, and older adults whose walking is affected by joint degeneration are advised to visit Orthopedics. When visiting, describe the location of pain, triggers and impact on activity in detail, and cooperate with imaging studies such as X-ray, CT and magnetic resonance imaging. Individuals at high risk of osteoporosis should undergo early screening and standardized prevention and treatment. Clinic Notes After severe trauma with marked limb deformity, open wounds, or inability to stand or walk, immobilize the injured limb and seek emergency care immediately. Patients with chronic joint and bone disease should control body weight, exercise moderately and avoid excessive weight bearing; seek medical attention promptly when pain worsens or dysfunction occurs, and do not blindly endure it or self-massage or attempt reduction. Department Features and Advantages. Orthopedics possesses complete subspecialty capabilities in trauma, spine, joints and sports medicine. The department is proficient in joint replacement, spinal decompression and fusion, and arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery, reconstructing joint function and relieving pain. Individualized postoperative rehabilitation programs run throughout the treatment course, helping patients recover mobility. For osteoporosis patients, standardized prevention and treatment is provided to prevent fractures. Daily Prevention and Health Advice. Protecting bones and joints lies in scientific exercise and nutrition. It is recommended to engage in appropriate low-impact exercise such as swimming and cycling, strengthen core muscle training, avoid prolonged sitting, standing and excessive weight bearing, and pay attention to posture when lifting heavy objects. Ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, and middle-aged and older adults should undergo regular bone density examinations. Seek medical attention promptly for persistent neck, shoulder, lower back or leg pain, or post-trauma swelling and pain. Appointments and Friendly Reminders. Patients can book appointments for the corresponding specialty outpatient clinics through the hospital website, by phone or on this platform. Please bring your ID, previous medical records and recent examination reports when visiting, and truthfully inform the physician of your current medications, allergies and past medical history so that an individualized plan can be developed.
