'To me, the joy of medicine comes from realizing that each new patient provides me with an opportunity to meet a new and different human being, and to be able to help in some way. This person is someone to listen to, interact with, and, together, come to an agreement as to the most acceptable method by which to arrive at a solution to his or her particular problem.' *
What is Orthopedic Surgery?
Orthopedic surgery deals with problems of the spine and the extremities. An orthopedic surgeon diagnoses and treats patients whose musculoskeletal problems include arthritis, trauma and congenital deformities. He or she also works with patients who have traumatic and overuse injuries. Using both surgical and non-surgical means, the orthopedic surgeon will treat injuries and degenerative problems of the spine and extremities, such as hands, feet, knees, shoulders and elbows.
