orthopedics
Let an agent explain orthopaedics, relay subspecialties, conditions, treatments and training from orthopaedic and medical sources in general terms, route serious injuries to emergency care, describe the named aliases and flag the product-like alias, and distinguish orthopaedics from rheumatology, physiotherapy, podiatry, chiropractic and orthotics as a separate profession, without diagnosing individuals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain orthopaedics, relay subspecialties, conditions, treatments and training from orthopaedic and medical sources in general terms, route serious injuries to emergency care, describe the named aliases and flag the product-like alias, and distinguish orthopaedics from rheumatology, physiotherapy, podiatry, chiropractic and orthotics as a separate profession, without diagnosing individuals.
The branch of medicine and surgery concerned with the musculoskeletal system, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and spine, treating fractures, injuries, arthritis, deformities and tumours with non-operative care, joint replacement, arthroscopy, fracture fixation and spinal surgery, with subspecialties such as orthopaedic trauma, sports traumatology, paediatric orthopaedics and veterinary orthopaedics for animals; the registry aliases also include orthopaedic technology, the making of orthoses and prostheses, halo-gravity traction, a technique for severe spinal deformity, and Orthopedic Surgery Simulation, which appears to name a training tool or product. Suspected fractures with deformity, open wounds or loss of sensation need emergency care.
What it is for: Treating musculoskeletal conditions.
It can be explain subspecialties and conditions; relay treatment approaches in general terms; describe named aliases; route serious injuries.
Distinguishing features
Musculoskeletal focus
Surgical and non-surgical care
Implants and fixation
Many subspecialties
What it looks like
Clinics, operating theatres, casts, implants and imaging of bones and joints.
Physical character
term coined: 1741 year - Nicolas Andry, Greek for straight child
common operation: hip and knee replacement note
registry parent: surgery note
How it is recognised
Medical specialty of the musculoskeletal system
Sports traumatology, orthopaedic traumatology, veterinary orthopaedics, Orthopedic Surgery Simulation, halo-gravity traction, orthopaedic technology
Rheumatology treats inflammatory joint disease medically; physiotherapy rehabilitates; podiatry treats feet; chiropractic is manual therapy; orthotists make braces

- Should veterinary orthopaedics be a separate entry?
- How should orthopaedic guidelines be linked?
