Orthopedics and Ortho Surgery
Orthopedic Medicine and Surgery
Orthopedic surgery (or orthopaedics as it's spelled in the U.K)
is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions around the musculoskeletal system.
It's this muscle and skeletal system that give people and animals the ability to
move.
Orthopedic surgeons frequently use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat
injuries and trauma to the body, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and
even some congenital conditions.
Among the
most common Orthopedic treatments you'll find knee and
shoulder arthroscopy, fractures of ankles and ligament reconstruction, knee and
hip replacements, spinal fusion and low back disc surgery, and repair of various
fractures. Orthopedic subspecialty training in the US includes areas specific to
hand surgery, shoulder and elbow surgeries, arthroplasty (or total joint reconstruction),
foot and ankle surgery, spine surgery and sports medicine.
