Abstract
Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics (also spelled orthopedic surgery and 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, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders, Nicholas Andry coined the word "orthopaedics", derived from Greek words for orthos ("correct", "straight") and paideion ("child"), when he published Orthopaedia: or the Art of Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children in 1741. Correction of spinal and bony deformities became the cornerstone of orthopedic practice. Today, over 6 months of training is dedicated to the treatment of the pediatric population. In the United States orthopedics is standard, although the majority of university and residency programs, and even the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, still use Andry's spelling Elsewhere, usage is not uniform, in Canada, both spellings are acceptable, orthopedics usually prevails in the rest of the Commonwealth, especially in Britain.
