A :
An orthopaedist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the skeletal system.

Q :
What is the difference between an Orthopaedist and an Orthopaedic surgeon?
A :
Orthopaedists are sometimes mistakenly referred to as orthopaedic surgeons. An orthopaedist deals with conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. He provides pre-surgical consultation and post-surgical follow up. An orthopaedic surgeon provides same care as orthopaedist, but performs surgery as well. He performs surgery to cure back pain, ruptured discs, bone tumours, carpal tunnel, arthritis and other injuries.
