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.
