Orthopaedics, Rheumatology & Rehabilitation

NYU Langone Medical Center is one of the nation’s premier hospitals for orthopaedics, rheumatology, and rehabilitation and is ranked in the top 10 in the country by U.S. News & World Report in all three areas. Our specialists provide the full spectrum of musculoskeletal care, from treating the simplest sprain to the most complex spinal surgery and from chronic pain management to advanced minimally invasive procedures.

Inpatient orthopaedic surgery is performed at our world-renowned Hospital for Joint Diseases (HJD), one of only five hospitals in the nation dedicated to orthopaedics. HJD’s highly trained specialists are leaders in minimally invasive and robotic knee and hip surgery, joint replacements, and complex spinal surgery. Outpatient services are offered at our new, state-of-the-art Center for Musculoskeletal Care (CMC), the largest freestanding facility of its kind in the country. CMC offers patients the full spectrum of outpatient bone and joint care, from degenerative and congenital conditions of the hip, knee, and spine to sports injuries or pain associated with arthritis. Radiology, pain management, physical therapy, and wellness programs are provided at CMC, while same-day surgery is offered at the adjacent Outpatient Surgery Center.
