Orthopaedic Surgery

What is an orthopaedic surgeon?

Orthopaedic surgery is a branch of medicine specializing in the surgical and nonsurgical care of the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system consists of:

  • Bones
  • Joints
  • Ligaments – structures that connect bones to each other
  • Muscles
  • Tendons – structures that connect muscle to bone
  • Cartilage – which provides the cushion between two bones in a joint
