| Ancient times | "orthopedic principles were beginning to be developed and used during primitive times.

| 1600 BC | The Edwin Smith papyrus, an ancient Egyptian medical text, describes the reduction of a dislocated mandible, signs of spinal or vertebral injuries, description of torticollis, and the treatment of fractures such as clavicle fractures. The document also discusses ryt, which refers to the purulent discharge from osteomyelitis.[1] | Egypt | |
| 430 BC–330 BC | "In the period between 430 BCE to 330 BCE, the Corpus Hippocrates was compiled, which is a Greek text on medicine.

For example, this text discuses shoulder dislocations and describes various reduction maneuvers. "[1] | ||
| 16th century | Spanish texts talk about the Aztecs use of reduction of fractures, as well intramedullary fixation using fir branches.[3] | Mexico | |
| 1597 | Literature | Scottish surgeon Peter Lowe publishes his A discourse of the Whole Art of Chirurgerie, which uses the term amputation for the first time.[4] | United Kingdom |
| 1741 | French physician Nicolas Andry is credited with the term orthopaedics, taken from the title of his 1741 book Orthopédie on childhood deformity correction.[5] The term is a composite of 2 Greek words: orthos, meaning “straight and free from deformity,” and paidios, meaning “child”.[1] | France | |
