Every day we perform simple tasks and participate in activities that bring us joy. It is easy to overlook the role that good health and ease of mobility play in allowing us to enjoy these simple activities. The difficulties associated with arthritis pain, degenerative joint disease and orthopedic injuries don’t just cripple our bodies – they can cripple our ability to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital’s comprehensive Orthopedic Services encompass a continuum of care for patients with orthopedic injuries or disease. From evaluation and diagnosis, to medical and surgical treatment and rehabilitation therapy, our orthopedic specialists provide advanced care.

Our multi-disciplinary team represents many disciplines of orthopedic care and treatment – internists, anesthesiologists, orthopedic surgeons, physician assistants, physical therapists and specially trained nurses, working together to help promote the optimal outcome for every patient.

Arthritis in the knee or hip is often painful and may limit your ability to walk or to perform simple tasks. When medical and physical therapies fail to produce the desired results, knee or hip replacement surgery may be an option. An evaluation and consultation with an orthopedic surgeon can help to determine if joint replacement surgery is an option for you.

While joint replacement surgery may ultimately provide relief from disabling joint pain, surgical treatment is not complete without physical therapy and rehabilitation. Your orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist will work together on a post-operative treatment plan designed to help you regain maximum function and mobility.

Whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend sports enthusiast, the pursuit of fun and exercise can sometimes result in a sports-related injury. From emergency evaluations, consultation and second opinions, to rehabilitative fitness training and surgical treatments, JFK Memorial Hospital offers comprehensive diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative services for sports-related injuries.

Disease and injuries that restrict mobility in the hand and shoulder may require complex medical and surgical treatments designed to restore function and movement. Our orthopedic clinical team specializes in advanced medical and surgical treatments for conditions ranging from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, to Rotator Cuff injuries, to acute tendonitis and bursitis.
