Concord Hospital orthopaedists are board-certified and fellowship trained in a range of subspecialties including, pediatric, spine, hand, foot, sports medicine and joint replacements. With 25 highly skilled, board-certified orthopaedists Concord Hospital provides the largest orthopaedic specialty service in the state. Our orthopaedic surgeons perform the following procedures:

• Total joint replacement of all major joints, including revision surgery
• Specialized cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal surgeries
• Hand and microvascular, foot and ankle, shoulder, elbow and hip surgeries
• Correction of scoliosis, hamstring lengthening, tendon surgery, fracture repair, club foot repair and other surgeries for pediatric patients
• Arthroscopy on all major joints
• Alternatives to knee replacement, including cartilage transplantation, osteotomy, Unispacer and partial replacements
• Minimally invasive spine surgery, including discectomy
• Sports medicine procedures

Concord Hospital’s skilled operating room staff are both versatile and highly specialized – versatile in that all OR nurses and surgical technologists are trained in all surgical specialties, and highly specialized in that each belongs to a specialty team and often works on the same types of cases. Although each staff member must be knowledgeable and trained to handle any type of surgery, many enjoy working in particular fields, such as orthopaedics, neurosurgery, ENT surgery or urology.

Specialty teams have between eight and 10 members, including a team leader who ensures the equipment for that area is in stock and that each surgeon has his or her preferred instruments and equipment available for each case. All team members help with ordering supplies and preparing surgeon preference cards (cards defining a surgeon’s preferred instruments and supplies), in addition to their clinical duties during surgery.

Pre-Op Classes

Concord Hospital offers “Preparing Yourself for a Total Joint Replacement,” a class focusing on what to expect before, during and after joint replacement surgery. Classes are held the first, second, third and fourth Tuesday of each month at 1 pm and the third Thursday of each month at 1 pm. Patients have the opportunity to meet some of the nurses and therapists, gain hands-on experience with equipment, learn what to expect during the hospital stay, tour the Center for Orthopaedic Care inpatient unit and discuss any lingering questions or concerns before surgery.
