 Orthopedists
specialize in problems affecting bones, joints or the related muscles, tendons
and ligaments. Orthopedists set broken bones, treat joint conditions
such as dislocated or slipped disks, arthritis and back problems,
bone tumors and skeletal birth defects. They may also surgically
repair or replace hip, knee and finger joints. Recovery from almost
any orthopedic problem requires time. It often takes considerable
time to heal a fractured bone or to recover from a back injury. Many serious
diseases and disorders treated by Orthopedists require rehabilitation counseling
and treatment.
