Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedics is a highly specialized area of medicine involving the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries or diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This includes all bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Orthopedic specialists care for people of all ages --- from children who break bones playing soccer to the elderly suffering with arthritis.
