Orthopedics is the specialized field of medicine concerned with the skeletal system (bones) and their associated muscles, joints and ligaments. The skeletal system is how you move, and preventing injury or treating conditions associated with your skeletal system is the only way to stay on the go.
Anybody can break a bone. Some orthopedic situations are less common, such as a newborn with a clubfoot, or an athlete with a rotator cuff injury. Hip, knee and wrist problems come to the orthopedist's office, as well as traumatic injuries or deformities. At Oregon Medical Group, our team of orthopedists share a passion for their field and a history of sports involvement.
You can call direct or have your Oregon Medical Group physician refer you to this specialty.
