Bone and Joint Health

From sports injuries to fractures to joint replacements, Sibley Memorial Hospital's Institute of Bone and Joint Health, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, provides highly specialized evaluation and treatment of the entire musculoskeletal system including bones, ligaments — everything that allows you to move, work and be active. 

More that 3,000 orthopedic procedures are performed yearly at Sibley. Patients can also receive non-surgical orthopaedic care, including physical and aquatic therapy, exercise and other therapeutic modalities from Sibley's Center for Rehabilitation Medicine

The Institute of Bone and Joint Health is recognized by US News and World Report for its orthopedic excellence throughout the region. Its orthopaedic surgeons are on the leading edge of medical research. Many are widely published and sought-after as instructors both nationally and internationally. Sibley's orthopaedic surgeons have advanced training in their specialty of care and in minimally invasive techniques that enable patients to get back to their normal lifestyle as quickly as possible. Getting patients back to their lives is the primary goal of the Institute of Bone and Joint Health's specialists. Richard Barth, M.D., Sibley's chief of orthopaedic surgery, ads that "As we live longer, we also expect to be active longer."

Sibley's orthopaedic surgeons are also supported by a range of full resources — such as high-definition video technology and procedure equipment — as well as a skilled staff, including orthopaedic nurses and physical therapists.
