The Adult Reconstructive Division is an important subspecialty component of the Adult Orthopaedic Services. Our world-renowned surgeons perform over 2,000 joint replacement surgeries annually, including primary hip and knee replacement as well as complex revision hip and knee reconstruction. Other conditions we treat include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, and congenital birth defects.

For Residents and Fellows
The educational component of the division is multifaceted, including a series of lectures as part of the formal didactic program, monthly conferences that include Journal Club and cases presentations, as well as the weekly case conferences that are held on each adult orthopaedic service.
Residents are exposed to patient care pre- and post-operatively in the orthopaedic clinics and the faculty offices, and instructed in the comprehensive care of patients throughout their hospitalization at our multiple locations, including the Joint Replacement Center of NYC.
