Abstract: Within this paper a multitude of topics are discussed to provide overall understanding of orthopedics and biomechanics. However, to provide further information, case studies and surgical procedures are discussed. The goal was to see how biomechanics has improved patient quality of life, by restoring them to some sort of normalcy. Orthopedic surgery does not just restore the patient’s abilities to resume normal daily activities. It also can provide a better life for the patient than they had previously. This is a common goal within the elderly patients doctors care for, but it is not limited to them. Due to the role of biomechanics within the orthopedic medical field, doctors are able to help the patients at hand. By reviewing the procedures and case studies, one may see the raw data for themselves and understand this important fact.
