Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of patients with skeletal deformities - disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and skin. These elements make up the musculoskeletal system.

During the first appointment, the orthopedist will work to diagnose the person’s condition. This normally includes conducting a physical examination and taking X-rays.

Sometimes, the orthopedist will use an in-office procedure, such as an injection, to help make the diagnosis or treat the condition.

In some instances, additional testing will be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
