Who are orthopaedic surgeons and what do they do?

An orthopaedic surgeon (also known as an orthopaedic doctor or orthopaedic, in short) is a specialist who focuses on conditions affecting your musculoskeletal system. In simpler terms, an orthopaedic surgeon helps you with diseases and conditions that affect your muscles, joints, bones, ligaments and tendons, and nerves. As a part of their job, orthopaedics diagnose your condition and help rehabilitate you to gain strength, movement, and flexibility after an accident has occurred or when you’ve undergone surgery.
