	Reconstructive surgery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reconstructive surgery is in its broadest sense the use of surgery to reconstruct damaged or malformed tissues or organs.
		Although plastic surgery is involved in some aspects of reconstructive surgery there are other branches of surgery whose main aim is reconstruction of a more normal part of the body.
		In orthopedic surgery, reconstructive surgery is the branch associated with hip replacement and other joint replacements, repair of tendons such as rotator cuff repair and osteotomy to straighten angulated bones.

	Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery
		While reconstructive is often taken to mean that the service "returns the patient to whole" and cosmetic is often interpreted as meaning the restoration of appearance only, the application of these terms must be based upon specific contract language, which often varies significantly from the above definitions.
