Are Orthopaedics and Orthopedics the Same?

Both spellings — orthopedics and orthopedics — are correct and describe the type of medicine that focuses on issues with the musculoskeletal system.

At UPMC, we use the more traditional, academic "orthopaedics."

Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Conditions

Mobility is essential to a healthy life. Our interdisciplinary team treats all orthopaedic and sports medicine conditions, from head to toe.

This includes arthritis, tendonitis, fractures, foot and ankle problems, elbow and shoulder problems, and much more.

World-class athletes turn to UPMC Orthopaedic Care and UPMC Sports Medicine — but no matter your lifestyle or skill level, we're here to get you moving again.
