In a city as big as Milwaukee, there are bound to be all kinds of people. There are immigrants from other states and other nations. There are the residents themselves. And out of these many and diverse people populating the city, there are bound to be several problems erupting due to differences of opinions, conflicts of beliefs, misbehavior and other instigating factors that may lead to serious feuds. Of course, the police force of this big city manages to stop most of them in time, but there are those few that escape their range of manpower, knowledge or resources.

This is where doctors, orthopedic surgeons in particular, come in. When prevention or on-the-spot apprehension or cutting off is no longer an option, cure and treatment are the only options. Specifically, for results of big-city crime and accidents, an orthopedic surgeon is a surgeon who deals with diagnosing and fixing or repairing ailments and injuries in the musculoskeletal system of a human being. More specifically, they use both surgical and non-surgical means to repair or reform injuries (fractures, dislocations, etc), trauma of any part of the musculoskeletal structure, degenerative and congenital diseases, tumors, infections and inflammations, and sports injuries. With this broad scope of body parts to fix, an orthopedic surgeon needs to be something of an expert by the time he handles is first operation. To attain this level of competency, he must first study for 8 years, both as an undergraduate and as a post graduate, with 4 years in each.

In the United States, after having graduated medical school, a graduate must spend 5 years as a resident trainee, handling general surgery in the first year, and focusing on orthopedic surgery the remaining four years. With this level and training, a serious student qualifies for a license and can count himself among authorized orthopedic surgeons. In some hospitals and clinics in Milwaukee, some orthopedic doctors conduct procedures such as total hip replacement, and joint replacements including knee, shoulder wrist and finger joint replacements, treatment of scoliosis (deformity of the spine), which are long, tedious and delicate procedures, if the doctor wants his work to be a success.
