Orthopedics is the branch of surgery concerned with the treatment of conditions involving the skeletal system and its interconnecting parts. The musculoskeletal system comprises parts including bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Orthopedics is focused on treating several complications and conditions, such as bone fractures, back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, congenital conditions, and joint pain from arthritis. Arthroscopic surgery is a common type of minimally invasive orthopedic surgery. It is used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint. The surgery for knee replacement is broadly categorized into two types, namely, total knee replacement and partial knee replacement. Total knee replacement is used to remove and replace the entire damaged knee joint with metal components. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of orthopedics. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. Researchers and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
