An orthopedic doctor is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries and problems with the musculoskeletal system (your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles). They can diagnose fractures, sprains, tears, sports injuries, and arthritis. They treat these conditions with medications, injections, splinting, recommending specific rehab/physical therapy exercises, and sometimes with surgery. An orthopedic surgeon can do joint replacement, arthroscopy, and surgical repair of broken bones.
They see common conditions like
- Arthritis, “wear and tear” of the joints
- Carpal tunnel
- Broken bones
- Sprains, tendonitis, torn ligaments
- Sports injuries
- Joint replacement, “bone on bone”
