SSM Orthopedics comprehensive program offers prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of a full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. With five locations in St. Louis and St. Charles counties, our team of board-certified physicians, specially trained nurses, and therapists deliver exceptional care to our patients.
Every day more than 100 board-certified orthopedic surgeons apply the latest techniques and procedures to hip, knee, and shoulder replacements and reconstructions; hand, wrist, shoulder and elbow injuries; spine and back disorders; foot and ankle disabilities; musculoskeletal surgeries; and arthritis intervention every day.
While we have a host of generalists who can care for a variety of orthopedic needs, many of our physicians have chosen to specialize in one of the following areas:
- Foot & Ankle
- Hand, Shoulder & Upper Extremity
- Hip & Knee
- Spine & Back
- Sports Medicine
- Total Joint Replacement
With joint replacement surgeries performed at each of our five adult SSM hospitals, the SSM Orthopedics Joint Replacement Center at DePaul Health Center performs more joint replacements, over 1000 annually, than any hospital within the metropolitan St. Louis area, yet has fewer complications in many common orthopedic surgeries. Our complication rates are lower than national benchmarks, ensuring our patients can get back to their lives as quickly and safely as possible.
