Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that treats conditions of the bones, joints and their surrounding muscles, tendons and other soft tissues: from arthritis to ACL tears, back pain to bone fractures, and carpal tunnel syndrome to clubfoot. When conservative treatments for these conditions are ineffective, orthopedic surgery is the field of surgery used to address them.
