Looking for a bone doctor, joint doctor or knee pain specialist? An orthopaedic surgeon is the medical term for a bone and joint doctor who treats conditions like knee pain, back pain, fractures, arthritis, slip disc, sports injuries and joint replacement. Many patients search for a knee doctor, shoulder doctor or spine doctor before they know the term orthopaedic. In India, a qualified bone doctor holds MBBS followed by MS (Orthopaedics) or DNB. For joint replacement surgery, look for a bone specialist with high case volumes. For knee pain and sports injuries, seek a doctor with fellowship training in sports medicine.
