Orthopedic surgeons are trained in the comprehensive care of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. They often perform a wide range of surgical procedures, including joint replacements (such as hip and knee replacements), fracture repairs, spinal surgeries, amputations, and arthroscopic procedures..
Orthopedic surgeons also provide non-surgical treatments such as medication management, physical therapy, and orthotic devices to optimize recovery and improve patient mobility. They frequently work with physiatrists, physical therapists, neurologists, rheumatologists, and pain management specialists, to deliver supportive multidisciplinary care.
Some orthopedic surgeons pursue specialized training through fellowships in areas such as hand surgery, foot and ankle surgery, pediatric orthopedics, sports medicine, joint reconstruction, arthroscopy, or orthopedic trauma. Their expertise extends to the latest advancements in minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, and biologic treatments aimed at enhancing outcomes and restoring function for patients of all ages.
By combining surgical expertise with a commitment to personalized patient care, orthopedic surgeons play a pivotal role in restoring musculoskeletal health and improving the quality of life for their patients. Their dedication to innovation and ongoing education ensures that they remain at the forefront of orthopedic care, contributing to advancements in the field and setting standards for excellence in musculoskeletal medicine.
