From the size of our award-winning department, to the scope of our reach in the orthopaedic world and the new space we call home, we continue to build upon a solid foundation of exceptional patient care, cutting-edge research and innovative education. This is our framework for growth, and we’re leading the way one breakthrough at a time. Framework For Growth | 1 MISSION FOR GROWTH he Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation has always strived to be a local and national leader in orthopaedic care. Above all, our mission is to advance the future of orthopaedic medicine by providing state-of-the-art patient care, Tinnovative education and cutting-edge research. In academic medicine we often speak of our Only by successfully integrating each of the mission as a “three-legged stool,” where each three legs can we give patients the best possible leg stands for a different aspect of our service care, educate the next generation of orthopaedic and provides the basic framework of our practice. surgeons and develop top-notch procedures and Each leg is vital for the success of not only the techniques for the future. academic mission, but also the other two legs. 2 | UNMC Orthopaedic 2016 Report We specialize in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in children, adolescents and adults. Our service provides quality, cost-effective care in each of the orthopaedic subspecialties: adult reconstructive surgery, hand and upper extremity surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, orthopaedic oncology, orthopaedic traumatology, spine surgery, sports medicine and pediatric orthopaedics. PATIENT CARE PATIENT Through clinical outcomes studies and collaborative projects, our surgeons conduct world-class research in the areas of musculoskeletal diseases, molecular biology and genetics. At our Biomechanics and Advanced Surgical Technologies Laboratory, research faculty are dedicated to the development of less invasive surgical techniques, knee implant simulation and computer- RESEARCH aided robotic surgery. Our residency training program is a competitive, challenging program that equips residents with the very best tools and training. By investing in education we are not only creating tomorrow’s top orthopaedic surgeons, but also cultivating promising educators who will teach for generations to come. Over the course of five years, our residents train in all nine orthopaedic specialties with rotations at Nebraska Medicine and other EDUCATION practices throughout the Omaha community. Framework For Growth | 3 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR he Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation at the University of Nebraska Medical Center has long been dedicated to our mission of improving the quality of orthopaedic care throughout Nebraska and beyond. The members of our department are committed to finding new ways of developing more advanced patient care, important breakthroughs in research and superior education of the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to present our sixth biennial year-end Treport, Framework for Growth.
