Led by a team of board-certified physicians and supported by specially trained
registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists, Mount
Carmel's comprehensive orthopedics program offers prevention,
diagnosis, treatment and rehab of a full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries.
Our more than 60 board-certified orthopedic surgeons apply innovative techniques
and procedures to hip, knee, and shoulder replacements and reconstructions;
hand, wrist, shoulder and elbow injuries; spine and back disorders; foot and
ankle disabilities; musculoskeletal surgeries; and arthritis intervention every
day.
While we have a host of generalists who can care for a variety of orthopedic needs, many of our physicians have chosen to specialize in one of the following areas:
With orthopedic specialists at each of our central Ohio hospitals and outpatient surgery centers, Mount
Carmel performs more joint replacement surgeries than any other hospital system
in Columbus,
yet has fewer complications in many common orthopedic surgeries. In fact, our
complication rates are lower than national benchmarks, ensuring our patients
can get back to their lives as quickly and safely as possible.
With
our progressive, research-based approach and an orthopedic residency program
ranked in the top 2% nationwide on standardized in-training examinations in 2006, 2007 and 2008, Mount Carmel
continues to set the standard in orthopedic care. |
