Are your ankles, hips, or elbows stiff or painful?
Orthopedic conditions are common in veterans due to high-risk training, long ruck marches, military parachuting, and many other activities that cause extra wear and tear. Because military life can cause your joints to age more quickly—many veterans experience debilitating conditions as a result of their service.
In this podcast, our experts explore Orthopedic conditions. Orthopedic conditions arise from injuries or diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system consists of muscles, bones, nerves, joints, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues. Damage to any of these tissues or structures can come from injuries or excessive wear and tear (as well as chronic diseases).
A VA disability claim for an orthopedic condition is one involving your joints or muscles. Your orthopedic conditions could affect your knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, neck, feet, or ankles. Veteran orthopedic conditions can also involve bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
The VA uses the term “musculoskeletal disabilities” instead of “orthopedic disabilities,” but they’re the same thing.
Let’s dive in!
