Hello heliocentric1,

There are an estimated 2,332 hand surgeons and 933 foot surgeons in
the United States.

Source of information:

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons publication
titled Orthopaedic Practice in the US Final Report 2004-2005, there
are 23,325 orthopaedic surgeons in the United States.

Orthopaedic Surgeons by Areas of Specialty
Hand 10%
Foot and ankle 4%

Using the above data I was able to calculate the number of foot and
hand surgeons in the U.S.

==============================================


There are an estimated 10,000 Ear Nose and Throat surgeons in the United States.

An otolaryngologist is a head and neck surgeon who diagnoses and
treats disorders of the ears, nose and throat.

neck surgeons who diagnose and treat disorders of the ears, nose,
throat, and related structures of the head and neck.
