Norwood also provides elective management – both surgical and non-surgical – of musculoskeletal disease. On-site MRI and CT-scanning imaging assist in both diagnosis and treatment.
Services include:
- Acute fracture care
- Treatment of traumatic injuries to tendon, ligament and cartilage structures
- Knee replacement and hip replacement, using the innovative, minimally invasive robotic-assisted MAKO ® treatment option
- Arthroscopic care of knee, shoulder, ankle, and elbow injury and disease
Rehabilitative Services On-Site
Norwood’s orthopedic surgeons have the benefit of the hospital’s rehabilitation services department to complement the services they provide. Norwood Hospital's Rehabilitation Program includes both inpatient and outpatient physical and occupational therapy. Our experienced and knowledgeable team of therapists and support staff bring a wide range of skills and strategies in coordinating care for the recovery from an orthopedic injury or surgery. Aquatic therapy is sometimes used for post-operative therapy, allowing for the added benefit of decreased pressure on joints from the bouyancy of the water.
Norwood Hospital is proud to be nationally recognized as a Blue Distinction+ Center for Knee and Hip Replacement by BlueCross and BlueShield. Blue Distinction+ Centers demonstrate a commitment to quality care, resulting in better overall outcomes for knee and hip replacement surgery patients.
