Since the opening of the country’s first bone and joint hospital nearly a century ago, Brigham and Women’s Hospital has developed one of the largest orthopedic programs of its kind in the world – with the most comprehensive team of orthopedic and joint disease specialists anywhere.

The Orthopedic and Arthritis Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital continues the legacy of innovation, inspired by our predecessor, the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital, which opened to specifically care for patients with arthritis and other debilitating bone and joint diseases. Since then, our physicians and researchers have been pioneering advancements in diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint diseases and disorders. Orthopedic milestones include:

• Pioneering minimally invasive joint replacement procedures.

• Discovering new medications for rheumatoid arthritis.

• Advancements in cartilage regeneration.

Our Orthopedic and Arthritis Center offers patients the opportunity to consult with not only orthopedists and rheumatologists, but also with such services as podiatry, physiatry, neurology, physical therapy, specialized nursing care, nutritional support, endocrinology, radiology, and pain management in a manner that is tailored to each of our patients – strengthening and enriching the care we provide.

Our orthopedic  services are delivered with the care and compassion you would expect from an organization that has been consistently ranked as one of America’s best hospitals on the U.S.News & World Report® Honor Roll, and one of the top orthopedic and arthritis providers in the country.
