Orthopaedic Surgery

Diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system — your bones, joints, nerves, ligaments, tendons and muscles — can be painful, frustrating and life-limiting.

You don’t have to live in pain. The physicians of UCI Health Orthopaedic Surgery Services are ready to diagnose and treat all conditions and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, no matter how complex.

Our goal is to ease your pain, restore your quality of life and have you moving freely again — as soon as possible.

Our joint replacement surgeons treat injuries and diseases that affect your body's musculoskeletal system. This system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. It allows you to move, work and be active.

Orthopedists care for patients of all ages, from newborns with club foot to young athletes requiring arthroscopic surgery and older people with arthritis, back and hip problems.

Orthopedic surgeons are familiar with all aspects of the musculoskeletal system, but many specialize in certain areas, such as the foot and ankle, the spine, hip or knee. Some also focus on specific fields such as pediatrics, trauma or sports medicine. Some orthopaedic surgeons may specialize in several areas.
