orthopedics medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on preserving and restoring the function of the skeletal system and its associated structures, such as the spinal and other bones, joints, and muscles. It is also known as orthopedic surgery.
In his work L'Orthop die, which featured an engraving of a crooked tree splinted with a post and a rope that later became a symbol of the field, French physician Nicolas Andry de Bois-Regard introduced the term orthopedics.
