Orthopedic doctors (sometimes also called orthopaedic doctors or orthopaedic surgeons) are doctors who focus on caring for your bones, joints, ligaments, nerves, and tendons (the tissue that connects bones and joints). These parts of your body are also referred to as your “musculoskeletal system.”
In the original 1966-1969 television series, McCoy's nickname “Bones” derived from the old humorous term for a surgeon, “sawbones,” and was bestowed on him by Captain James T. Kirk.
Orthology is the study of the right use of words in language. The word comes from Greek ortho- ("correct") and -logy ("science of"). This science is a place where psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and many other fields of learning come together. And hence the person specialise in this field is called orthologist.
Temperance "Bones" Brennan, Ph. D.
(born Joy Keenan) is a fictional character portrayed by Emily Deschanel in the American Fox television series Bones. An anthropologist, forensic anthropologist, and kinesiologist, she is described in the series as a leading authority in the field of forensic anthropology.
Bone specialists, also referred to as orthopedic surgeons, have advanced knowledge and training—beyond those of a primary care doctor—to diagnose and provide treatment for the full range of injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system (the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons).
"Bones" creator Hart Hanson says he based Brennan in part on an Aspie friend, but the needs of a broadcast network like Fox to get as large an audience as possible meant he couldn't come out and say that. "If we were on cable, we would have said from the beginning that Brennan has Asperger's," Hanson says.
Like several other elements within the Star Trek universe, the "Bones" nickname is taken from U.S. military tradition. In the 19th century, Civil War surgeons were often referred to as "Sawbones" because of the many battlefield amputations they would carry out.
Orthopaedic comes from the Greek words “ortho” (straight) and “paidion” (child). Initially, orthopedics was a branch of medicine. Medical professionals refer to it as the medical specialty that focuses on correcting deformities in children. These deformities include bone and joint disorders.
