Is
a worn-out hip or knee keeping you
from moving freely? Are you wincing
because of chronic back pain that just
keeps getting worse? Did you slip and
shatter a bone?
These are all health problems that
might send you to an orthopaedic
surgeon. These highly trained medical
specialists focus on diagnosing and
treating injuries and disorders of the
musculoskeletal system, which includes
the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons,
muscles and nerves.

for children with spine and limb
deformities.
But today they tend to people
of all ages, from newborns with
clubfoot to young athletes with
overuse injuries to older adults
with painful arthritis.

surgeons do only one thing: surgery.
But surgery is something they generally
advise only if medicine, exercise
