General Orthopaedics Orthopaedics is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and diseases of your body’s musculoskeletal system. This complex system included your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves and allows you to move, work and be active. Once devoted to the care of children with spine and limb deformities, orthopaedics now cares for patients of all ages, from newborns with clubfeet to young athletes requiring arthroscopic surgery to older people with arthritis. Iowa Lakes Orthopaedics specializes in general orthopaedics, which includes fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and sprains and strains of ligaments and muscles. For certain conditions, it is necessary to perform surgery or recommend physical therapy or occupational therapy.
