An Ortho surgeon diagnoses the Orthopaedic problem, performs or prescribes treatments, and assists with rehabilitation. Ortho Surgeons can also help you develop strategies to treat illnesses, disorders, and issues related to your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
There are many procedures, including ankle, knee, hip, spinal, hand, and neck surgeries, that Ortho surgeons can perform. They also treat an issue in the least intrusive way, which may not be surgery.
