An orthopedic surgeon is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing, treating, preventing, and rehabilitating disorders of the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Orthopedic surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, from fractures and dislocations to degenerative diseases like arthritis and injuries related to sports or trauma. Their work involves both surgical and non-surgical methods, depending on the severity of the condition.
Orthopedic surgeons are trained to perform various procedures, including joint replacement surgeries (such as hip and knee replacements), arthroscopic surgeries to repair joint problems, spinal surgeries, and fracture repairs using rods, plates, and screws. They also specialize in soft tissue repairs, such as ligament and tendon reconstructions.
In addition to surgery, orthopedic surgeons provide rehabilitative care and work closely with physical therapists to ensure patients regain mobility and function after injuries or surgeries. Some orthopedic surgeons focus on specific areas, like sports medicine, pediatric orthopedics, spine surgery, or trauma care.
Their work is critical to helping patients recover from debilitating conditions, enabling them to return to their normal lives with improved mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced quality of life. Continuous advancements in minimally invasive techniques, such as robotic surgery, have made orthopedic procedures more efficient with shorter recovery times.
