When your daily activities are limited by pain or discomfort, start at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center for expert orthopedic patient care and state-of-the-art research. Through our extensive involvement in clinical trials, we are at the forefront of advances in minimally invasive surgeries and post-operative rehabilitation programs. While the majority of our patients come to us for help with chronic knee or hip pain or as a result of experiencing some type of fracture, our orthopedic surgeons care for all foot and ankle, knee, hip, hand, spine and shoulder problems, including arthritis.

Why see an orthopedic doctor?

If you're experiencing a sprain, strain, repetitive motion stress, sports injury, trauma or infection, Ohio State general orthopedic physicians can diagnosis the cause of your pain, help treat it or refer you to a subspecialist, if necessary. We accept most insurance plans and do not require a referral, except for orthopedic oncology. Explore the areas our orthopedic doctors specialize in below and choose Ohio State when you experience:
