Jason Fond - What is Orthopedics?
Jason Fond decided to make his mark in the local medical community in
Rockland County, New York by studying Orthopedics. This is not an easy
field to become proficient enough in to make a career. To be an
orthopedic surgeon like Dr. Fond, medical students have to work for
several years in a residency after they specialize in the medical field
in medical school. Dr. Fond decided that he wanted to help people stay
active and healthy, so he entered the orthopedic field. Since he
completed his residency and education as an orthopedic surgeon, he has
performed thousands of successful surgeries to repair damage to
ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, and more. He has also successfully
treated injuries with far less invasive treatments, and remains
committed to helping people recover from serious sports injuries and
conditions using noninvasive treatments whenever possible.

medicine is extremely extensive. Since 2014, Dr. Jason Fond has also

But what is
Orthopedics and why is it important? Orthopedics is a medical specialty
that focuses entirely on injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal
system. This system involves bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons,
and nerves that work in complex harmony to allow the body to move,
work, and stay active. When the specialty was born, it was devoted to
caring for children with limb and spine deformities, but over the years,
orthopedics has expanded to help people of all ages, from children born
with deformities to young athletes trying to recover from injuries and
return to the field, and elderly people suffering from arthritis. Jason
Fond is proud to be a part of this tradition.
Orthopedic
surgeons treat orthopedic issues by diagnosing injuries and disorders
that occur to the musculoskeletal system. During his early career, Jason
Fond worked with athletes who needed treatment for injuries suffered on
the baseball and football fields. Over time he began working to treat
disorders and conditions in a variety of ways, including medication,
surgery, and exercise routines designed to strengthen ligaments,
tendons, muscles, and joints. He also works hard to provide his patients
with information and treatment plans designed to prevent injuries and
conditions to occur in the first place.
