Orthopedics Surgery
Clinical Services
In order to lead a vibrant life, we must move around by standing, walking, and holding things. The parts necessary for moving the body are called the locomotorium, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and muscles. Orthopedics Surgery treats illnesses (diseases) and injuries (trauma) of the locomotorium. Put more simply, everything except the head and internal organs is dealt with in the field of Orthopedics Surgery. If you are suffering from pain somewhere in your body, if you have been injured in an accident or if you cannot move the limbs as intended due to numbness, please consult an orthopedic surgeon.
We will listen closely to your concerns and help you return to a vibrant life.
Orthopedics Surgery at Teikyo University Hospital provides treatment at the orthopedic outpatient clinic and orthopedic ward, and we send orthopedic surgeons to the emergency outpatient clinic and Trauma Center.

The specialized outpatient clinic specializes in intractable fracture treatment, hip treatment, knee treatment, spine treatment, hand surgery, tumor treatment, rheumatism treatment, sports medicine, shoulder treatment, osteoporosis treatment, and foot surgery.
