Orthopedic surgeons are MDs or DOs in the USA and MBBSs in the United Kingdom, and generally have five to seven years of advanced postgraduate training and may serve a fellowship for training in any of several sub-specialty areas, such as sports medicine, traumatology, reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, foot & ankle surgery, spine surgery, rheumatological surgery, pediatric orthopedics, or geriatric orthopedics.
Orthopedic surgeons treat patients using surgical and non-surgical methods to correct problems. Orthopedic surgeons work closely with many allied health professionals, such as athletic trainers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical medicine & rehabilitation physcians and other physicians in related fields in the treatment of patients.
