Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the care of the musculoskeletal system. This system is made up of muscles and bones, as well as joints, ligaments, and tendons. A person who specializes in orthopedics is known as an orthopedist. Orthopedists use both surgical and nonsurgical approaches to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as sports injuries, joint pain, and back problems. It outlines the different conditions that orthopedists treat and what people can expect during an orthopedic appointment. Orthopedists treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. These conditions may be present from birth, or they may occur as a result of injury or age-related wear and tear. During the first appointment, the orthopedist will work to diagnose the person’s condition. This normally includes conducting a physical examination and taking X-rays. Sometimes, the orthopedist will use an in-office procedure, such as an injection, to help make the diagnosis or treat the condition. In some instances, additional testing will be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
