Top-Ranked Hospitals for Orthopedics

Best Hospitals Rankings Methodology

Nearly 1,600 hospitals are listed in Orthopedics. All are experienced in treating difficult cases—a hospital is listed only if at least 267 inpatients who needed a high level of expertise in this specialty were treated there in 2006, 2007, and 2008, or if surveyed specialists recommended the hospital for such patients. The top 50 hospitals are ranked by score. Those below the top 50 are listed alphabetically.
