Do only certain orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint surgery?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Joint surgery: You will need to pick an orthopedic surgeon. This is a common procedure for most orthopedists. There are some surgeons who specialize in joint replacements and have extra training in the procedures.

Joint replacement ?: After medical school and an orthopedic surgery residency program , many go on to do an " extra " year or fellowship in orthopedic sub specialties ( sports medicine, foot and ankle, spine, hand, trauma and joint replacement ). Many general orthopedists do joint replacements . Those who have done a fellowship in joint replacement have more training ! good luck!
