Orthopedics

Welcome to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center’s Division of Orthopedic Surgery in Queens, NY

Orthopedics is a surgical specialty that concentrates on treating, preserving, and restoring the function of the musculoskeletal system and its interconnecting parts, which consists of muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissue.

The musculoskeletal system helps us move, support our body weight, and maintain our posture. Any injury or underlying medical condition that affects the musculoskeletal system, can cause pain and/or limit our range of motion.

Our Queens orthopedic surgeons specialize in diagnosing, managing, treating, and preventing conditions that affect parts of the musculoskeletal system, such as any pain in the joint, muscle, or bone, muscle tears, breaks and fractures, arthritis, bursitis, tumors, degenerative diseases, or congenital disorders.

Nonsurgical options to treat these conditions include physical therapy, and injections. Orthopedic surgeons also use surgical methods that are meant to repair, reconstruct, or replace the hip, knee, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, and spine.

The Orthopedic Surgery Department of Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY, consists of board-certified, expert surgeons who offer treatment for patients suffering from any orthopedic condition, ensuring speedy recovery and maximum comfort throughout the treatment process.
