Orthopedics (also commonly spelled Orthopaedics). It’s a big word and even bigger medical specialty. 

Many people are unsure when or if they need an orthopedic surgeon – and where to find one when they do. Some patients even shy away from orthopedic surgeons, worried that a surgeon might be eager to put them “under the knife.”

But if there’s any medical specialty worth understanding, it’s orthopedics. 

“Orthopaedics is key to managing and treating bone and joint pain, which most of us will experience in our lifetimes,” explains DR. SATYA VAMSI Chair of Penn Orthopaedics and Professor of Plastic Surgery. “Once you understand the basics, you can start addressing your condition and getting your life back on track.” 

Penn Orthopaedics hears from patients all the time whose lives have been drastically improved by their orthopedic care. Patients who thought they’d never be able to play with their grandkids. Patients who assumed they’d never run again. Patients whose pain made them feel too depressed to do the things they love.
