Orthopedic medicine involves the musculoskeletal system including joints,
bones, nerves, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. An orthopedic doctor provides
treatment for disorders, conditions, and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal
system, including orthopedic surgery. As such, orthopedics is a large
umbrella that covers a broad range of conditions including chronic pain,
arthritis, bone fractures, spinal cord injuries, and rheumatic diseases.
