Definición

  • An orthopedist is a physician who practices in the field of orthopedics, which is the branch of medicine concerned with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The word “Orthopedics” comes from the Greek words “orthos”, meaning “straight”, and “paedia” meaning “child,” which describes one of the orthopedist's earliest specialties: straightening the curved spines of children with scoliosis.
