Unmatched Experience

HSS performs more hip surgeries and more knee replacements than any other hospital in the US. Compare our surgical volume to other hospitals.
Nursing?s Highest Honor
HSS was the first hospital in New York City to receive the Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence and the first hospital in the New York State to be redesignated with nursing?s highest honor five consecutive times.
Pioneering Research and Innovation
The HSS Research Institute comprises 20 laboratories and 300 staff members focused on leading the advancement of musculoskeletal health through prevention of degeneration, tissue repair and tissue regeneration. With its state-of-the-art technology, large patient volume, and special ?bench to bedside? teams of doctors and scientists, HSS can swiftly translate scientific breakthroughs into clinical treatments. The global standard total knee replacement was developed at HSS in 1969. The HSS Innovation Institute was formed in 2016 to realize the potential of new drugs, therapeutics and devices.
Leading the Field in Radiology and Anesthesiology
HSS is one of the world?s largest academic centers devoted to orthopedic imaging . HSS radiologists have developed new protocols for the diagnostic imaging of bones, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues, including MRIs of metal implants and cartilage. HSS anesthesiologists are globally recognized leaders in regional anesthesia . This technique, pioneered at HSS, has been shown to reduce bleeding, minimize postoperative pain, and shorten surgical time. Most importantly, the use of regional anesthesia reduces the chance of having a surgical infection by 50%.

Every HSS doctor holds an appointment on the faculty of Weill Cornell Medical College. HSS has one of the most sought after orthopedic residency programs , with over 400 of its 500+ graduates holding positions in major orthopedic departments, many serving as department heads.
