  • Assisting or rehabilitation, aimed at regaining movement, strength, flexibility, and range of motion following an injury or surgery.
  • Forming strategies or treatment plans to prevent injury and to provide alternative treatment options to prevent worsening of chronic conditions like arthritis.
  • While an orthopedic specialist has complete knowledge about all parts of the musculoskeletal system, some of them specialize further. Some of the subspecialty areas of orthopedics include hip, spine, knee, foot, ankle, shoulder, elbow, hand, trauma surgery, and sports medicine.

Different orthopedic specialists specialize even further in specific parts of the body, such as the hip, ankle, foot, or shoulder. A few of them also specialize in treating children.
