orthopedically

/ˌɔɹθəˈpidɪkəli/ adv

In an orthopedic manner.

Word Origin Orthopedically means in a manner relating to straightening children's bones. Orthopedics comes from Greek orthos 'straight' and pais 'child' — originally the medical specialty of correcting deformities in children. The same roots give us orthodox (straight opinion), orthodontist (straight teeth), and pediatric (child healing). The -ically suffix makes it an adverb. It's a vivid word: you can almost see the straightening of little limbs.
