Orthopedic Surgeons in Rio de Janeiro Brazil

Orthopedists specialize in conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system: the body’s bones, muscles, tendons and joints. For example, we treat arthritis, fractures, wounds infections, bone and tendon injuries. Orthopedists and orthopedic surgeons are specialize in areas like the spine, hands, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee or ankle and foot.

Orthopedic Surgeons

All orthopedists are orthopedic surgeons. The two terms are often used interchangeably. Our Orthopedic surgeons help prevent, diagnose and treat orthopedic conditions, plus perform surgery if necessary. Since musculoskeletal pain is a common condition for patients seeking orthopedic care, our specialists provide rehabilitation and pain management care.

For foot conditions, a patient might seek out a podiatrist but an orthopedic surgeon is a better option . Each specialty has its own distinct training requirements: orthopedic surgeons typically complete 3 years of orthopedic residency. I spent 4 years of training in the Master in Orthopedics after orthopedic residency, in addition to specialization courses in the United States and France.
