Orthopaedics is the medical and surgical specialty concerned with the preservation, restoration, and development of the musculoskeletal system. Anesthesiais the medical and surgical specialty concerned with reducing or blocking entirely the perception of pain, allowing patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress they would otherwise experience. Anesthesiology, an exciting and dynamic specialty, has experienced rapid advances over the last hundred years, which have made it an ever safer and more effective intervention.

The Division of Orthopaedic Anesthesia excels in all anesthetic techniques as they relate to orthopaedic procedures.
