Most likely a surgeon needs to be able to do basic trigonometry and arithmetic in order to make sure that ratios between body parts are correct and that joints have the proper angles to maintain proper body function. On top of this they may also need to be able to determine volumes of certain shapes when transplanting body tissue from one part of a body to the other.
Math is a very fundamental skill which is used everywhere in our modern world. Even your average burger flipper can be aided by math if you think about it.
Well I might not be correct, but I do have scoliosis and I believe it is for the measurement of the spine, of course math would be necessary to measure that during the surgery.

''' because they use math to do surgery'''
Math is more important because without math we couldn't do surgery. I disagree, where do you use math in surgery? Surgery has been done for centuries without math.

Orthopedic surgery focuses on procedures related to the musculoskeletal system, which is the foundation of our movement and structure. Here's a breakdown of the body parts addressed by orthopedic surgery: Bones: This includes procedures to fix fractures, repair broken bones, treat bone tumors, and address bone deformities. Joints: Joint replacements (like hip or knee replacements) for arthritis or injuries, arthroscopic surgery for minimally invasive joint procedures, and repairs of ligaments and tendons surrounding the joints are all within the realm of orthopedic surgery. Muscles: While not the main focus, orthopedic surgeons may perform procedures to address muscle tears or imbalances that affect movement and stability. Ligaments and Tendons: These connective tissues that stabilize joints are commonly addressed through repairs or reconstructions when damaged by injuries or overuse. Spine: Spinal surgeries to address issues like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or fractures in the vertebrae are performed by orthopedic surgeons specializing in the spine.

A medical degree Residency One year of general surgery training Four years of training in orthopedic surgery In the United States, orthopedic surgeons have typically completed four years of undergraduate education and four years of medical school. Subsequently, these medical school graduates undergo residency training in orthopedic surgery. The five-year residency consists of one year of general surgery training followed by four years of training in orthopedic surgery.
Risks specifically associated with orthopedic surgery include inflammation at the site where foreign materials are introduced into the body, infection as the result of surgery, and damage to nerves or to the spinal cord.
For the removal of diseased, non-functional, or non-vital tissue, there is no alternative to orthopedic surgery.
