Orthopedic problems refer to disorders affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. One common condition is elevated uric acid, which can lead to gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis. Orthopedic issues may be caused by injury, wear and tear, autoimmune conditions, or metabolic imbalances. These problems often result in pain, stiffness, swelling, or limited movement and may require medical, physical, or surgical management.
