Orthopedics

Whether it’s a minor injury, such as a sore shoulder or sprained ankle, or a major impairment, like a worn out hip or arthritic joint, one in seven Americans requires orthopedic care. And like you, most people don’t want a long recovery time.

That's why Overlook Hospital offers the latest in minimally invasive surgical techniques for faster recovery. Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons use specially developed procedures and guidelines to perform more efficient surgeries for faster recovery. That means smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, greater range of motion, and most importantly, you can get back to your daily activities more quickly.

In addition to general orthopedics, Overlook Hospital’s specialty services span from emergency orthopedic care and sports medicine to total joint replacement and pediatric orthopedics. Supporting these services are the latest diagnostic and imaging technologies, hotel-like rooms for total joint patients, and dedicated same-day surgery facilities.
