Orthopedics
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine dealing with diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of patients with skeletal deformities - disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin. The physicians who specialize in this area are called orthopedic surgeons or orthopedists.
