Orthopedic nurses provide improved quality of life to the patients who suffer from musculoskeletal injury. There are many issues related orthopedics like hospitalization for replacement of joint or loss of bone density. Since, the healing process of such patients is very long and painful.

Health is the chief concept for nursing. Epistemological, logical, pragmatical, and linguistical  are the 4 principles which are used to figure out the level of maturity of health concepts. It is found that the health concept in nursing is immature and additional concept development and clarification are needed. The health need to be defined in a consistent manner with its philopshical presuppositions by nursing authorities. The health needs to be measurable, experimental based and capture the results which are sensitive to the nursing interventions. Moreover, the practice implications for the concept of health need to be conceptualized which would be possible if the nurses have consensus regarding the health.
