Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that treats conditions of the bones, joints and their surrounding muscles, tendons and other soft tissues – from arthritis to ACL tears, bone fractures to back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome to clubfoot. When conservative methods to treat these conditions are insufficient or have failed, orthopedic surgery is the field of surgery used to address them.

"After my first surgery at another hospital, I never fully recovered. When I found HSS, I immediately felt comfortable. When I met my surgeon, he gave me options that weren't available to me at other hospitals. It didn't feel like a recovery. It felt like I got my life back."
— Jackie

"I had four previous back fusions that didn't solve the fact that I was bent over. Due to the complexity of my case, they referred me to HSS. You couldn't ask for a better team. My outcome in my spiritual and physical life was a total turnaround. I still get teared up. Standing tall is absolutely marvelous."
