Orthopedics and Orthopedic Trauma

Position our physicians and surgeons to provide the highest level of care—and support the research that moves care forward.

Orthopedics and Orthopedic Trauma

Working alongside our hospital partners, our world-renowned orthopedic surgery and trauma faculty at McGovern Medical School serve Greater Houston around the clock, caring for every aspect of injury—from prevention to lifesaving care to rehabilitation. Together with the trainees that follow in their footsteps, they staff clinics across the city and the nation’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center at Memorial Hermann Red Duke Trauma Institute.

Our experts also stand ready to meet the unique orthopedic needs of older adults in our communities. The Bone Health Clinic addresses frailty by providing comprehensive treatment for metabolic bone disorders or bone loss related to osteoporosis. Our faculty also provide elite trauma care for elders at the Silver Trauma Unit at the Red Duke Trauma Institute, one of the nation’s first trauma centers designed for older adults.

In addition to this unparalleled level of care, we train the next generation of orthopedic surgeons and traumatologists through leading fellowship programs. Our faculty and trainees also pursue research that restores function and leads to life-saving advances.

The result of this dedicated clinical experience, educational mission, and research productivity gives the residents of Houston and Southeast Texas one of the best orthopedic surgery and trauma resources in the country.

Your support of Many Faces. One Mission. can help extend this legacy of excellence and equip us to continue restoring lives and inspiring hope in our patients—no matter when trauma occurs, no matter its complexity.
