Orthopedic care encompasses the entire skeletal system.
What is the difference between an Orthopaedist and an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

Is a doctor referral required for an Orthopaedic consultation?

However, a general physician might conduct initial assessments for musculoskeletal issues and subsequently refer patients to an orthopaedic surgeon for specialized examination.
