Orthopedics Exam Questions Practice Test part 2

Description

Orthopedics (sometimes spelled orthopaedics) is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, which are conditions that affect the body's bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Orthopedic doctors, also known as orthopedists, are medical specialists who diagnose and treat conditions such as arthritis, fractures, joint dislocations, spinal deformities, sports injuries, and other disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system. They may use non-surgical methods, such as physical therapy or medications, or surgical methods, such as joint replacement or bone repair surgery, to treat their patients. Orthopedics is a vast field, with many subspecialties, including sports medicine, pediatric orthopedics, spine surgery, and trauma surgery. Orthopedists may work in hospitals, clinics, or private practices, and they often collaborate with other medical professionals, such as physical therapists and radiologists, to provide the best care for their patients.

Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics (alternatively spelt orthopaedics), is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders

Nicholas Andry coined the word in French as orthopédie, derived from the Ancient Greek words  orthos ("correct", "straight") and παιδίον paidion ("child"), and published Orthopedie (translated as Orthopædia: Or the Art of Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children in 1741. The word was assimilated into English as orthopædics; the ligature æ was common in that era for ae in Greek- and Latin-based words. As the name implies, the discipline was initially developed with attention to children, but the correction of spinal and bone deformities in all stages of life eventually became the cornerstone of orthopedic practice.

As with many words derived with the "æ" ligature, simplification to either "ae" or just "e" is common, especially in North America. In the US, the majority of college, university, and residency programmes, and even the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, still use the spelling with the digraph ae, though hospitals usually use the shortened form. Elsewhere, usage is not uniform; in Canada, both spellings are acceptable; "orthopaedics" is the normal spelling in the UK in line with other fields which retain "ae".
