Tri-City Medical Center is dedicated to providing North County residents with a spectrum of excellent orthpaedic services to address all aspects of bone and joint health. The mission of the Orthopaedic Center is to improve your health and increase your quality of life.

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine concerned with diseases, injuries, and conditions of the musculoskeletal system — the body's muscles and skeleton, including the joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.

Comprehensive Orthopaedic Services

Tri-City Medical Center's comprehensive approach to orthopaedic services includes education, diagnosis and treatment and rehabilitation for arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, joint replacement, and other bone and joint conditions.

Facilities and Progressive Procedures

Our facilities offer advanced diagnostic equipment for early detection of osteoporosis and a new operating room dedicated to orthopaedic procedures. Progressive procedures and facilities plus commitment to education and preventative medicine all contribute to quality orthopaedic healthcare. Learn about our Bone Densitometer equipment for diagnosing osteoporosis.

Millions suffer from degenerative bone diseases

As our population ages, degenerative bone diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis become more common and affect the quality of more lives. More than 53 million Americans suffer from arthritis and osteoporosis and are at risk for fractured hips and joint replacements. Without appropriate intervention, quality of life can be severely diminished. All aging Americans should take action to protect the health of their bones through medical screening and self-education.

Education facilitates recovery

If you need joint replacement, help in managing arthritis, or if you suffer from osteoporosis, we can help. Studies show that a comprehensive education program actually facilitates early patient discharge, reduces postoperative complications, and improves the quality of a hospital stay.
