Behind every topic there is a team: orthopaedics, internal medicine, physiotherapy and anesthesiology. Each one brings its own perspective, and together they define how we think about and treat each problem. That is what a patient with a code sees in the three keys of each topic.
Key A · Medical treatment
Prescribed by the orthopaedic specialist, with support from internal medicine.
Key C · Physiotherapy treatment

Key B · Surgical treatment
Surgery, when needed, with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.
Assesses and diagnoses injuries of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons and spine, prescribes medical treatment (Key A) and, when needed, surgical treatment (Key B). Coordinates each patient's plan with the rest of the team.
