Orthopedic prosthetics

A synonym for orthopedic prosthetics is technical orthopedics. We classify it as a separate field with its own superstructure certification. It deals with functional or cosmetic replacements for anatomical losses of the locomotor system. It is closely related to surgery, neurology, rheumatology and rehabilitation. Significant progress in the development of this field occurred in connection with wars and natural disasters (thalidomide), although the first signs of prostheses appear already in ancient Egypt.
