Orthopedics Center of Excellence

Supporting patients living with a rare orthopedics condition

Orsini’s Orthopedics Center of Excellence launched in 2016 with our first program for cartilage defect repair. Our dedicated Therapy Care Teams work with the physician’s office and insurance on a patient’s behalf so that our patients and their family have more time to focus on their treatment and quality of life. We are here to listen, provide counseling on treatment, including side-effect management, and assist with sourcing third-party financial assistance.

About Cartilage Defect Repair

Cartilage is the tough but flexible tissue that covers the ends of your bones at a joint. Healthy cartilage helps people move by allowing the bones to glide over each other. It also protects bones by preventing them from rubbing against each other. Unlike other tissues, cartilage does not repair itself and can become a chronic problem, often getting worse as time goes on. If conservative treatment does not work to relieve pain, surgery is often the answer.
