Orthopedics Services

If you need treatment for your bones or muscles, our orthopedists can help. Mount Sinai Brooklyn offers the state-of-the-art care you expect from the Mount Sinai Health System at a convenient Brooklyn location. Our new orthopedics suite includes the latest imaging technology. This means we can diagnose you more quickly. We have special knowledge and experience in dealing with:

  • Elbows

Our doctors are also researchers, which means we use the most advanced therapies and procedures. We are happy to provide second opinions and to help you if you have been seen and treated elsewhere. If necessary, we can redo surgeries done elsewhere (called revision procedures). We accept most insurances, including Medicare. 

Trauma

Orthopedic trauma is when your bones or muscles are injured by an outside source, such as a fall or car accident. Often these incidents cause bone fractures and dislocations. Our orthopedists are expert at diagnosing and treating these conditions. Whenever possible, we use nonsurgical methods such as splints, casts, and braces. If you need surgery, we prefer to use minimally invasive techniques. These approaches speed up recovery, shorten hospital stays, and lower your chances of complications or scarring. We can perform same-day procedures. We can also safely and expertly perform traditional surgery. We do our best to return you to daily activities. 

Special Services

Our orthopedists are expert in treatments not available everywhere. We routinely provide second opinions, which can be especially helpful before a serious procedure. We also offer revision procedures, which correct a previous surgery. These can be helpful if an earlier procedure did not relieve your pain or if it caused complications or produced an unwanted scar. Our specialists can also perform complex procedures to help serious bone loss caused by arthritis or other conditions.
