Why are female orthopedic doctors so rare?
Part of an orthopedic surgeon's responsibility includes treating the bones in and around the joints. This may require the surgeon to physically dislocate the (anesthetized) patient's joints, and then replace them. The hip and shoulder joints of a typical 150 to 180 lb. man would be difficult for most women to dislocate and replace. Although there probably are women who are strong enough to do such a job, it would appear that not many women wish to make a career of doing so.

If you do not have a regular physician, find an orthopedic surgeon and schedule an appointment yourself. Seeing a surgeon does not mean you will be having surgery, but an arm and hand specialist will be able to assess your pain and help you find your answers.
