The branch of medicine that deals with the prevention or correction of injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments.
Ortho must mean bone or something in Latin. I wish I knew someone who took 4 years of Latin in High School who could help me out... :)
In other news, I got back to working on my online game, Yacht Race Online. I've got it working slightly better than it was before. I already found a big bug, but I'm pretty sure I know how to fix it.
I hadn't seen the code for a while, and it was pretty bad in parts. I was just learning .NET at that time, and wasn't sure how I wanted to write some of the objects, but I definitely would like to change some of it now. Maybe I'll get to change some more code soon.

Orthopedic is derived from Greek rather than Latin. From listening to the Word Nerds podcast, I've learned to check EtymOnline whenever I need to know such things. Here's the etymology of orthopedic.
Glad to hear you're picking up Yacht Race again. When can we start our game again?
