Orthopaedic Care services

Orthopaedic Care offers education, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation for injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal (muscles and bones) system.

Orthopaedic care is the specialty that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. This complex system determines how we move and includes the workings of our bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Musculoskeletal conditions include arthritis and osteoporosis.

Advanced certified nurses

Our Orthopaedic Care nurses are specially trained to take care of you during and after joint replacement surgery; this includes nurses in the operating room as well as on the orthopaedic inpatient unit. These dedicated nurses are committed to your care and work with you to monitor your progress, assess your responses to treatment, control your pain, and help you meet your individual goals for recovery. Many of our nurses have achieved additional orthopaedic specialty credentials, such as:

• Orthopaedic Nurse Certification (ONC) from the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses
• Certified Nurse Operating Room (CNOR) from American Organization of periOperative Nurses

The ultimate goal of certification is to create a culture of patient safety and extraordinary care through increased knowledge and a professional commitment to the highest practice standards. Certification benefits the entire health care community, from the patient to the nurse to the employer and hospital administrator.
