An orthopaedic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These specialists often perform surgeries, but they also provide non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medication management, and lifestyle recommendations. Orthopaedic surgeons play a crucial role in helping patients recover from injuries, manage chronic musculoskeletal conditions, and restore mobility.
