About Orthopedic Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has some of the country's top orthopedic surgery specialists. Orthopedic surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian combine surgical expertise with pioneering clinical and basic research in areas such as stimulation of bone and tissue repair and total joint reconstruction. In fact, in 2010-2011, our program was ranked among the best in the nation in the annual Best Hospitals survey conducted by U.S.News and World Report.

NewYork-Presbyterian offers a full range of orthopedic surgical services, with several areas of special expertise. Our surgeons are advancing the use of minimally invasive procedures using arthroscopy, a technique by which surgery is conducted through a very small incision using video imaging, and which carries the benefit of reductions in blood loss and shorter hospital stays.
