U.S. orthopedic surgeons complete a five-year residency. Those who elect to focus on a specialty may pursue fellowship training post residency. The fellowship training provides an opportunity to learn from national leaders while exposing the surgeon to specialized surgery cases. In short, fellowship-trained translates to extra education from leaders in the field which results in specialist surgeons.

Most of our surgeons use the Orthopedic Surgery Center of Creve Coeur, which is conveniently located right next door to OrthoMissouri! However, some patients may prefer a different ambulatory surgery center. If this is the case, please consult with your OrthoMO physician about options.
