One in seven Americans has an orthopaedic disorder that affects an individual's quality of life and his ability to perform daily activities—-injuries to the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments or tendons—-or a degenerative condition, such as arthritis or osteoporosis.

Surgical specialities include hip and knee replacement, shoulder and back surgery, and trauma and fracture care.

This program also offers support and outpatient resources including:

• physical and occupational therapy
• athletic training
• sports medicine
• ongoing education through classes and events.
