Track: Neurology and Orthopedic surgery

Neurology and Orthopedic surgery

Neurology and orthopedic surgery are distinct medical specialties that frequently intersect, particularly in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. This collaboration has given rise to the field of neuro-orthopaedics, which focuses on managing musculoskeletal disorders resulting from central and peripheral nervous system lesions. Orthopedic neurology is a subspecialty that focuses on conditions where the nervous and musculoskeletal systems overlap. This includes diagnosing and treating injuries related to the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. For instance, a back injury sustained during sports may affect both the spinal cord and the surrounding musculature, necessitating a combined neurological and orthopedic approach for effective treatment.
