Orthopedic Nursing

Orthopedic nursing is a specialized area of nursing focused on caring for patients with musculoskeletal system issues, such as broken bones, arthritis, or joint replacements. These nurses assess, monitor, and support patients through treatment and recovery, often assisting before and after surgeries or procedures. They also educate patients on managing their conditions and maintaining mobility. Orthopedic nurses work closely with doctors, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers to ensure optimal recovery and reduce complications, helping patients regain strength, function, and quality of life after injuries or chronic joint and bone problems.
