- Treatment of arthritis of joints after trauma
- Dislocations of limb joints
- Hip replacement
- Hip preservation

- Foot and ankle
- Hand and upper extremity
- Orthopedic oncology
- Spine
Our nurses are successful because they believe our patient’s safety comes first and they believe in multi-disciplinary, collaborative teamwork.
We orient new nurses to our unit by providing an extensive, specialized orientation period. The length of orientation is dependent upon the learning style and speed of the orientee.
