Orthopaedics is the medical-surgical speciality dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and injuries of the locomotor system, which includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and peripheral nerves.

Orthopaedic doctors work in synergy with other specialised areas of medical knowledge to improve patients’ mobility and quality of life through the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal ailments using a variety of techniques and procedures.

At Clínica Terrace by Dr Mara Marques we have Dr Paulo Jorge Figueira, a specialist in Orthopaedics and Traumatology since 2020 whose areas of interest are general orthopaedics in adults and assessment of post-traumatic body damage.
