orthopedic devices

Orthopedic devices are medical tools designed to support, align, or improve the function of bones and joints. They help treat injuries, deformities, or diseases related to the musculoskeletal system. Common examples include braces, splints, crutches, and artificial joints, like hip or knee replacements. These devices assist in recovery, enhance mobility, and alleviate pain, allowing individuals to regain normal function. Orthopedic devices can be temporary, like a cast for a broken bone, or permanent, like prosthetics for amputees, depending on the individual's needs and medical conditions.
