Traumatology

Traumatology

Traumatology is the branch of medicine responsible for the locomotor apparatus (this includes the bones, joints, muscles, cartilage and ligaments). This speciality studies and treats congenital disorders as well as injuries that happen over the course of our life. It is both a medical and surgical speciality.
