How many orthopedic surgeons are there?

20400 in the US

It is widely known the fact that orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.  Keep in mind that there are approximately 20,400 actively practicing orthopedic surgeons and residents in the United States.  It is important to know that in the US, the future orthopedic surgeons have to complete four years of undergraduate education and four years of medical school.  Needless to say, the five-year residency is a categorical orthopedic surgery training.
