What is the difference between traumatology and orthopedics

Traumatology is the discipline of medicine that is responsible for the treatment of traumatic lesions of bones, muscles, joints and tendons. These discomforts can be congenital or acquired in the course of life by different situations to which any person is exposed.

While orthopedics is the medical branch that develops and exercised in conjunction with traumatology to correct or avoid deformations or traumas of the musculoskeletal system.
