This orthopaedic service at University of Utah Health brings together an integrated team of specialists who build a treatment plan tailored to each patient's condition. Care spans physical therapy through surgery when needed, with providers collaborating so patients can get comprehensive treatment in one place. The practice is described as one of the nation's leading specialty services for bones, joints, and muscles.
Providers treat the hand and wrist, foot and ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow, neck, back, and hips. Common reasons patients are seen include sports and physical activity injuries, arthritis, osteoporosis, and overuse injuries, as well as conditions like ACL and MCL ligament injuries, fractures, and thrower's shoulder or elbow problems.
The site notes that surgery is typically a last resort; non-surgical treatments such as rest, physical therapy or rehab, medications and injections, and activity modification are the usual first approach. Hip and knee replacement and sports medicine services are also offered. Patients can be seen at University Orthopaedic Center as well as locations in the Farmington, Salt Lake City, Redwood, South Jordan, and Sugar House areas, including an Orthopaedic Injury Clinic for urgent injury concerns.
