orthopedist
Treats broken limbs
An orthopedist is a physician who specializes in the musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Orthopedists treat fractures, joint replacements, sports injuries, and conditions like arthritis or scoliosis.
The field divides between surgical and non-surgical practice: The orthopedist recommended physical therapy before considering surgery.
