Facharzt (specialist doctor), Orthopäde (orthopedist)

From Greek 'rheuma' (flow, stream) and '-loge' (specialist). It refers to a specialist in diseases related to the 'flow' of bodily humors.

It's nearly identical to the English word 'rheumatologist', which makes it simple to recall. Just mind the German pronunciation.
