General Orthopaedics is a term encompassing all aspects of orthopaedic care.  Surgeons who practice general orthopaedics see all patients with musculoskeletal conditions regardless of the anatomic area.  The majority of orthopaedic conditions can be treated initially with nonoperative management and often, the general or family orthopaedist can help direct you in that treatment as well as many basic surgical procedures.  All orthopaedic surgeons are trained in general orthopaedics, so we all have the knowledge, however, it is the surgeons choice whether or not to see all patients.  Many surgeons choose to specialize in an area of expertise with fellowship training.
