Most people will see an orthopaedic surgeon at some point in their life, and others will see one often. Yet there is often confusion about exactly which conditions orthopaedic specialists treat. Orthopaedic medicine treats the musculoskeletal system. Healthcare providers in this field of medicine specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, and therapy of conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves in patients of all ages, from newborn babies to the elderly. While some orthopaedic surgeons undergo additional training to perform specialized types of surgeries, orthopaedic surgeons in general spend the majority of their time treating patients outside of the operating room. Most orthopaedic specialists have a busy office-based practice. Orthopaedic surgeons can also be found working in the emergency room, taking care of patients in hospital wards, or even on the sidelines of sporting events.
