Orthopedics
It doesn't take much to cause a sprain, injure a joint, pull a tendon, pinch a nerve or even break a bone—all things that can slow you down and prevent you from performing at your best. That's why the Department of Orthopedics at Long Island Jewish Medical Center offers expert care to help you get back into the swing of your routine.
Our expert clinicians are part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team of high-caliber specialists. Together, they develop an individualized care plan for each patient that encompasses every stage—from diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation, recovery and follow-up. We are also dedicated to research that transforms ideas into cutting-edge treatments for our patients, focusing on novel approaches for the repair and regeneration of the musculoskeletal system.
