The Future of Orthopaedic Care
Being able to move and be active is undoubtedly an important part of your life – whether it’s golfing with friends, recovering from an accident, training for a triathlon or coaching your daughter’s soccer team. What would life be like if even the gentlest of movements caused excruciating pain? This is the reality for millions of Canadians whose work, family and personal lives are derailed by debilitating back pain, chronic joint pain or a traumatic orthopaedic injury.

The Orthopaedics Program
When you think “Orthopaedics program,” what springs to mind? Maybe a hip or knee replacement in a patient with arthritis, or perhaps a fractured bone that needs to be fixed. But that’s only part of a very large picture.
The Orthopaedics Program at LHSC is multi-faceted, with separate yet connected Clinical Teaching Units that treat a wide variety of patients, including young people, athletes and others who may have suffered sports injuries, illness or accidents. The Orthopaedics team cares for patients with bone, muscle and joint health issues and focuses on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, surgery, rehabilitation and education.
