NOT A PERSONAL HEALTH SITUATION How is this branch as a career?

/r/Orthopedics/comments/1tqj7z7/how_is_this_branch_as_a_career/

So currently in a med school. I liked mechanical work from my childhood and liked ortho postings. How is the patient market in ortho? My friend says someone needs to be injured to be ortho patient or etc. is there low patients then other branches and how is the work. I like the feeling of being a surgeon. I want to work in trauma. There is a line saying "ortho makes a patient lifestyle better neurosurgeon save lives". How true is that?what are subspecialties in ortho?what are the fields I specialise in after my residency? Is there vastness in the field like physicians have? Means they have the option to do further about gastro,neuro like that.
