My husband did internal medicine a number of years ago for residency, and the salary is enough to live (perhaps max $40K/year, depending on where you live and cost of living) on but not a mint. I'm assuming surgery residency is not much different in salary.
Also, I think surgery is 4 years (no residency I know of is 2 years). After that, a person can specialize in fellowship--is orthopedics a subspecialty? If so, a person will then do an extra year or two of study (also for a grim salary:hours worked ratio) in that area of specialization.

The amount varies from place to place. A typical residency lasts 2 years.
