Tree of Andry
The Symbol for Orthopaedics
The Tree of Andry has been the symbol for Orthopaedics since the early 1700's.
The word Orthopaedia was originally used to mean The Art of Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children.
The analogy of the crooked tree tied to a strong post reflects the basis of Orthopaedics - to correct deformities.
