Orthopedic Traumatology and Surgery is the specialty concerning clinical assessment, diagnosis, prevention, treatment by surgical and non-surgical means and rehabilitation adapted for patients with congenital and acquired diseases, deformities, and traumatic and non-traumatic functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system and its associated structures.

Over the last few years, traumatologists and orthopedic surgeons have made some quantitatively and qualitatively remarkable advances, above all in relation to the development of new techniques both for diagnosis and for treatment. This justifies the theoretical and practical content of the training program being reviewed and updated, and also increasingly leads to the definition of post-specialization specific training areas.
