Orthopedic surgeons are medical doctors (MD) or doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) who have residency training in orthopedic surgery. Some orthopedists decide to specialize in foot and ankle surgery and may even complete an additional year of training in a foot and ankle fellowship. These focused specialists treat anything that affects the foot and ankle, from tendonitis and fractures to arthritis and deformities.
