Orthopedic Surgery
The Orthopedic Section
maintains two services (Ortho I and Ortho
II). Each service is staffed by one senior doctor and
usually one house officer (i.e., surgery resident or occasionally an
intern). These services receive appointments Monday – Thursday
and perform surgery Monday – Friday. The Ortho I service receives
appointments on Monday and Wednesday and performs surgery Tuesday and
Thursday. The Ortho II service receives appointments on Tuesday
and Thursday and performs surgery on Wednesday and Friday.
Orthopedic patients that were admitted by our Emergency Service during
the weekend have surgery performed by one of the orthopedic services
once the patient has been stabilized.
The doctors on our Orthopedic Services are highly trained specialists who employ the best treatments and technologies in order to serve our clients and help our patients. These doctors perform surgery in five different state-of-the-art operating rooms, using the most advanced equipment and materials available today.
Our patients are housed within the orthopedic ward in their own private cage or run. The patients are given lots of TLC by the students, nurses and doctors, and we do everything possible to ensure patient comfort. As their conditions permit, our patients are taken outside 2-3 times daily. We have a full complement of other specialists (e.g., internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, emergency/critical care, nutrition, oncology, etc.) with whom we can consult should our patients require it.
