We care for various patients who have orthopedic trauma, spine surgery, hand surgery, orthopedic cancer, and a small amount of total joint replacements. This innovative unit collaborates closely with world-renowned physicians and surgeons, providing crucial support for their complex surgeries. The unit has 24 beds and functions cohesively as a team to provide exceptional patient care. This care team has been recognized with the Service Excellence Award and nominated for the Excellence through Teamwork award.
