Orthopedics at Beverly Hospital

Orthopedic conditions, such as broken bones or arthritis, can slow you down. At Beverly Hospital, we offer care designed to get you moving in no time. And we’re conveniently located right here in your community. There’s no need to drive to Boston for leading-edge orthopedic care.

A Team-Based Approach to Orthopedic Care

Our goal is to help you recover as quickly as possible from an orthopedic injury or procedure. To do that, we work as a team and actively engage you in your recovery. A variety of specialists could be included on your care team:

• Case managers
• Nurses
• Orthopedic surgeons
• Physical therapists
• Physician assistants

Expert Surgical Care

For some conditions, surgery is needed. Your team will help you understand what to expect before, during and after surgery. They also will make sure you are a good candidate for surgery. This means ensuring you don’t have an infection and that you are likely to experience a quick recovery. Together, our team will help:

• Ensure you’re prepared for surgery and a quick recovery
• Coordinate care from your first appointment until you leave the hospital and throughout follow-up
• Reduce problems after surgery, such as infections
• Increase your overall satisfaction with your care

We also offer an online class for people who are good candidates for joint replacement surgery. During this class, you’ll learn what you can expect during the process, including surgery and recovery.

Robotic-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery

Our surgeons use the latest technologies for surgical procedures, such as joint replacements. These tools allow us to make smaller incisions during your procedure, which can:

• Improve safety
• Promote faster recovery
• Reduce pain and scarring
• Reduce the potential for complications

New England Baptist Orthopedic (NEBO) Program

At Beverly Hospital, we follow surgical guidelines set by the New England Baptist Hospital (NEBH), a national leader in orthopedic surgery. These guidelines, called the New England Baptist Orthopedic (NEBO) program, help ensure safe and effective orthopedic procedures.

Post-Surgical Care

Our goal is to help you leave the hospital the day after your procedure. While this may seem daunting, our team is here to help. We’ll encourage you to move as much as possible.

We’ll also provide you with information you need to make your recovery at home successful. This includes:

• Education to prevent reinjury
• Access to recovery resources, such as physical therapists
• Pain management options, such as ice or medication, you can use at home
