Orthopedic and Sport Care

We often take the strength and motion of our bodies for granted. When injuries, age and other conditions affect your quality of life, Mercy offers many services and surgical options to treat injuries and illnesses that affect bones, muscles, ligaments, joints and tendons.

The best orthopedic care doesn’t come from technology or facilities alone – it comes from expertise. Over 150 orthopedic specialists serving Mercy communities not only treat the common complaints of aching knees, shoulders, feet and hips, they also provide dedicated support for sports injuries and concussions, hands, spinal injuries, trauma, and pediatric injuries and conditions.

Mercy offers a variety of orthopedic programs in our many communities to keep people moving and healthy:

• Pediatric orthopedic specialists who focus solely on kids – everything from broken bones to conditions like spina bifida.
• Dedicated total joint replacement programs.
• Dedicated rehabilitation services.
• Coming 2013, a dedicated orthopedic hospital in Springfield designed with community input.
