Orthopedic surgery
A person who specializes in orthopedics is known
as an orthopedist. Orthopedists use both surgical
and nonsurgical approaches to treat a variety of
musculoskeletal issues, such as sports injuries,
joint pain, and back problems.
Orthopaedic surgeons are devoted to the
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders
of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and
muscles. Some orthopaedists are generalists,
while others specialize in certain areas of the
body, such as Hip and knee.
Orthopedics is the field of medicine that focuses
on surgery on, or manipulation of, the
musculoskeletal system. The surgical specialty
was originally focused on developmental
deformities and the effects of polio in children,
but today it has expanded significantly to
address all the conditions and diseases affecting
the musculoskeletal system in individuals of all
ages.
The overall goal of orthopedic treatments is to
preserve or restore the musculoskeletal system.

Physicians whose practices are focused on
orthopedics are called orthopedic surgeons,
although not all of them perform surgery. An
orthopedic surgeon is qualified to diagnose and
manage or treat musculoskeletal system problems
that affect the bones and soft tissue (ligaments,
tendons) in the body. Furthermore, an orthopedist
can recommended rehabilitation methods to
patients that may enhance the effect of their
treatments. He or she can also provide effective
orthopedic education and guidance to patients
regarding the prevention of orthopedic injuries
and diseases.
