An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in the surgery of the bones. Orthopedic surgeons are highly trained to make a diagnosis, offer treatment (which often does not require surgery) and supervise your rehabilitation. They are the professionals who are the decision makers for further medical intervention or medical imaging.
