What is the difference between an Orthopaedic Specialist and a General Orthopaedic Surgeon?
An Orthopaedic Specialist is an Orthopaedic Surgeon who has completed additional fellowship training (i.e. Spine Surgery, Trauma, Foot and Ankle Surgery, Total Joint Replacement, Sports Medicine, Shoulder and Elbow Surgery). All physicians at the Carolina Orthopaedic Center are fellowship trained and board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons to provide patients with the highest quality, state-of-the-art orthopaedic care.
