Orthopedic Hospital

If you are currently searching for an orthopedic hospital to fit your needs, you’ve probably spent the last several months or years managing the symptoms of back or neck injury. The last thing you want to do is spend hours figuring out whether you should go to a specialized hospital or an outpatient facility.

Below are a few ways to differentiate between orthopedic hospitals and outpatient facilities so that finding a proper orthopedic clinic does not have to be as stressful as your spine condition itself.

Hospitals

An orthopedic hospital may include:

• A range of sub-specialty physicians—the orthopedic doctors will not only focus on orthopedic spine conditions, but they may also specialize in sports medicine, pediatric orthopedics, joint orthopedics, or orthopedic oncology.
• In-patient facilities—the majority of spine operations performed at the orthopedic hospital will require patients to be hospitalized for several days after their surgery because most spine procedures will be traditional, open back operations that require general anesthesia.

Orthopedic Clinics

An orthopedic outpatient facility may include:

• A highly specialized staff—often, these facilities focus on only one type of orthopedic medicine. For instance, Laser Spine Institute (LSI) focuses on orthopedic conditions involving the spine. Patients have access to more orthopedic physicians with expertise in their particular condition.
• Outpatient facilities—because the procedures performed at an outpatient facility are minimally invasive and do not use general anesthesia, patients are free to go home the same day as their surgery. With no muscle trauma and a decreased chance of nerve damage, a patient’s overall recovery time is expedited.
