There are many fundamentalist Christian doctors..

Undoubtedly. But are there any creationist orthopedic surgeons? Can any one honestly claim that the back and knee, for example, were 'intelligently' designed?

Can any one honestly claim that the back and knee, for example, were 'intelligently' designed?

Yes.

But are there any creationist orthopedic surgeons?

Perhaps you have heard of Dr. Lorraine Day? From her website:

Dr. Lorraine Day, an internationally acclaimed orthopedic trauma surgeon and best selling author was for 15 years on the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine as Associate Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics. She was also Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital and is recognized world-wide as an AIDS expert.

She has been invited to lecture extensively throughout the U.S. and the world and has appeared on numerous radio and television shows including 60 minutes, Nightline, CNN Crossfire, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King Live, The 700 Club, John Ankerberg Show, USA Radio Network, Art Bell Radio Show, Three Angels Broadcasting Network and Trinity Broadcasting Network.

I don't know if she is a young earth creationist, but she is swimming in the same pond.

And why not? They are an important part of a human being, a well organized, complex and thoroughly interrelated organism. In fact it is the advocates of evolution who apply reductionism to every question that are the failures in medicinal science. It is the interrelatedness of functions that is essential for the understanding of the ailments of human beings.
