Who Needs Orthopedic Medicine?

Orthopedic doctors and surgeons are highly knowledgeable, meaning they go through training tailored to orthopedics. Many orthopedic surgeons take this one step further, to a subspecialty. These surgeons become knowledgeable on treating one specific part of the musculoskeletal system, such as the knees or hips.

What Surgeries are Available?

Orthopedic surgeries range from simple to complex, depending on the nature and severity of the issue. Generally, orthopedic surgeries treat the following parts of your system:

  • Cartilage
  • Feet
  • Arthritis
  • Ankles
  • Hands
  • Wrists
  • Hips
  • Knees
  • Shoulders
  • Back

Whether it's an ACL tear or a degenerative disc, specialized surgeries are available. Much of orthopedic medicine is built around arthroscopy and arthroplasty.

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive, treating joint damage with a small tool called an arthroscope. This is in contrast to arthroplasty, which is also called joint replacement. As medical technology becomes more advanced, so does orthopedic surgery. This makes robot-assisted surgery and computer navigated surgery viable options.

Orthopedic doctors can also provide helpful information for life after orthopedic surgery. This can include exercise plans or best practices.
