Orthopedic doctors (sometimes also called orthopedic doctors or orthopedic surgeons) are doctors who focus on caring for your bones, joints, ligaments, nerves, and tendons (the tissue that connects bones and joints). These parts of your body are also referred to as your “musculoskeletal system.” Many people see orthopedic doctors for pain or injuries that are caused by physical activity or sports. For example, if you’re an avid mountain biker and your knee hurts, you may benefit from seeing an orthopedic doctor who’s a specialist in treating knee problems. But orthopedic doctors treat a wide range of problems beyond sports injuries. Even though primary care doctors treat some of the same injuries, it can be a good idea to see a doctor who’s an expert in treating these problems. That’s because orthopedic doctors have advanced knowledge and training beyond your primary care doctor to treat musculoskeletal problems. Different orthopedic doctors specialize even further in specific areas of your body—like your hip, ankle, and foot, or shoulder. Some orthopedic doctors specialize in treating children. Pediatric orthopedists monitor bone growth problems in children—like scoliosis—or developmental problems that children are born with, like clubfoot or hip dysplasia.
