orthopedics For surgery to correct the child's spinal curvature, they were referred to the hospital's orthopedics section. orthopedics*

Accepted Answer

The correction or prevention of deformities of the skeleton. Just as an orthodontist corrects crookedness in the teeth, an orthopedist corrects crookedness in the skeleton. Orthopedics is formed in part from the Greek word for “child,” and many orthopedic patients are in fact children. But adults also often have need of orthopedic therapy, as when suffering from a joint disease like arthritis or when recovering from a broken arm or leg
