Orthopedic Conditions and Disorders

Did You Know?

The shoulder has the widest range of movement of any joint in the body. It's also one of the most unstable, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. Common shoulder problems include sprains, strains, dislocations, separations, tendonitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs and frozen shoulder.

Back and Neck
Back and neck pain are among the top reasons that people visit their doctor. Taking good care of your back and neck can help prevent problems.

Shoulder and Elbow
The shoulder has the widest range of motion of any joint in your body—but that also makes it the most vulnerable to injury.

Hand and Wrist
Many common hand and wrist complaints—including arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome—can interfere with activities of daily living.

Hip
Hip pain and problems range from sciatica to osteoarthritis and hip fractures.

Knee
The knee is a complex joint of bones held together with tendons, ligaments, and muscles—any of which can be damaged through everyday activities or high-impact sports.

Leg and Foot
From corns and calluses to ankle sprains, your feet and lower legs are susceptible to many stresses and injuries.

Bone Tumors
Bone tumors can be either benign or malignant. Most bone tumors are specific to certain areas of the bone.

Other Bone Conditions
Other diseases that can affect bone health include Paget's disease and primary hyperparathyroidism.
