Orthopedists treat problems with bones and joints. Orthopedic surgeons treat a myriad of pathological bone and joint conditions including, but not limited to arthroscopy of the knee (for ligamental tears, etc.), knee joint replacements, hip pinnings and hip replacements, shoulder and elbow joint pathologies (and hand reconstruction by orthopedists who have done extra training in this area). Also, simple casting is done for simple fractures, all the way to complex surgeries and pinnings for complex fractures. And many, many more.
