Orthopedic surgery
Your bones, muscles, and joints form the framework of your body. An orthopedic surgeon is a doctor who uses medical, surgical and physical treatments to preserve and restore this framework. Orthopedic surgeons often specialize in certain parts of the body, including the hand, knee, hip, spine, foot or shoulder. But when you receive orthopedic surgery at Allina Health, your surgeon is also focused on your overall wellness, often collaborating with other caregivers across our system.
