Orthopaedic traumatologist is a medical specialty that combines two fields of medicine: orthopaedics and traumatology. The former deals with the treatment of deformities and anomalies of the musculoskeletal system of any aetiology (congenital or acquired). The second aims to treat the consequences of injuries. In other words, the doctor specialises in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of any chronic diseases, acute conditions, pathologies and disorders of the human locomotor system (the system consisting of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles). An orthopaedic traumatologist in Vilnius (in the private clinic "Mano klinika") helps patients with severe injuries and chronic illnesses. Treatment at our clinic aims to alleviate the condition, restore health and improve patients' quality of life.
