Our experts treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and sportsrelated injuries, taking an individualized approach to guide patients through their treatment journeys.
ORTHOPAEDIC CARE
Our orthopaedic providers offer specialty services in:

At UPMC East and UPMC St. Margaret, we use the latest technology, including roboticassisted joint replacement surgery techniques, to ensure optimal outcomes and faster recovery times.
The robotic system is a surgical planning tool based on the patient’ s anatomy using pre-surgical CT scans. The robot serves as a guide to help surgeons, precisely removing damaged tissue and placing the new joint. This often results in less trauma to soft tissues, reduced pain, and a faster recovery.
If joint replacement surgery sounds like it might be right for you, our experts will help you weigh the benefits and risks. Visit UPMC. com / OrthoCare to find a location near you.
