Orthopedic Surgery

Modern surgery has advanced to the point that doctors specialize in specific areas, usually an anatomical section of the body, but occasionally a technique or kind of patient.

Orthopaedic surgery is a medical specialty that treats acute injuries, congenital and acquired abnormalities, as well as chronic arthritic or overuse conditions of the bones, joints, and soft tissues that surround them, such as ligaments, nerves, and muscles.
