An orthopedic surgeon is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. A specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation is a doctor who specializes in restoring physical function and preventing disability in people who have suffered from physical or mental illness, injury, or other conditions. Both types of specialists can diagnose and treat cam bone disease and can provide advice on how to manage the condition.

Cam bone disease, also known as osteochondritis dissecans, is a joint condition that affects the cartilage and bones in the joint. Treatment for this condition is typically handled by an orthopedic surgeon, who will typically recommend a combination of rest, physical therapy, and medications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged cartilage and bones. If surgery is not an option, then a physical therapist can help the patient to strengthen their muscles and improve their range of motion. Other supportive measures like bracing or shoe inserts may be recommended as well.
