Orthopaedic Oncology
Our team evaluates and treats benign and malignant tumors of the bone and soft tissue, and other cancers that have spread to the bone. We provide the latest surgical and non-surgical options tailored to the patient's individual needs. Therapies include freezing, heat cautery using special instruments, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, limb-sparing surgery, and reconstructive techniques.
Pediatric Orthopaedics
We cover the entire spectrum of pediatric orthopaedic problems from birth to the teenage years, when skeletal maturity occurs.
Using the latest techniques, we treat disorders of growth and development of the skeleton, muscles, and joints in children. We understand that managing childrens' problems requires sensitivity to stages of social and emotional development. The support of parents is an integral element in the child's orthopaedic care and treatment.
We treat an assortment of congenital and developmental problems of the young skeleton, such as clubfeet and dislocated hips, as well as acute and chronic injuries to bones, joints, and muscles. Care for various neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and muscular dystrophy, is also provided.
Hand and Upper Extremity
We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment of hand, wrist, and elbow disorders. We are experienced in the latest treatments for traumas to these areas, including microvascular, arthroscopic, and reconstructive surgery. We also have a team of occupational therapists who specialize in hand, wrist, and elbow rehabilitation.
Trauma
Our orthopaedic trauma service is an essential part of our emergency services at West Virginia University Hospitals. Staff members maintain 24-hour coverage in the Emergency Department to help care for trauma patients. We provide expert care for patients with severe musculoskeletal injuries and related complications. We provide acute trauma care as well as consultative and support services to patients with multiple injuries, including complicated fractures, poly trauma, malunion, nonunion, pelvic fractures, and soft tissue injuries.
The Jon Michael Moore Trauma Center is West Virginia's only nationally certified Level 1 trauma center, providing tertiary care and serving as a resource for the state and surrounding region.

Total Joint Replacement
Our surgeons offer minimally invasive and traditional procedures for painful and debilitating joint conditions caused or aggravated by arthritis or other chronic conditions, injury, or infection. We specialize in knee and hip replacement, using the latest devices and techniques.
Our multi-disciplinary joint team includes orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, rehabilitation medicine specialists, orthopaedic nurses, musculoskeletal radiologists, and therapists.
After an initial comprehensive evaluation, the team designs a treatment plan with options specially suited to the patient's needs. Non-surgical interventions to ease symptoms are the first step. If non-surgical treatments prove ineffective, joint replacement surgery is the next option. We use minimally invasive joint reconstruction techniques that allow patients to return more quickly to an active life. New materials used in joint reconstruction promise long-term benefits.
