Orthopedic Symbol Tree

Orthopedic Symbol Tree. A bent tree lashed to a straightening stick -- a simple yet effective symbol. The word orthopedic is derived from Greek meaning "straight child" -- signifying origins of this profession as it strove to correct childhood deformities such as scoliosis, rickets and polio. This tree was made as a special order for an orthopedic surgeon's office. 8 inches in height. $225
