New Orthopaedic Center
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is pleased to announce that construction has begun on a $5.8 million outpatient Orthopaedics Center on the Health Science campus of the University of Toledo. This new facility will provide patients with easy, convenient access to postoperative care and checkups, says Dr. Nabil Ebraheim, professor and Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery.
The new facility, which is being constructed atop the "bullnose" portion of Dowling Hall, will include 24 exam rooms; radiology and imaging capabilities; physician and nurse work spaces; patient registration and waiting areas; urgent care, cast, and procedure rooms; a skills lab; and conference and physical therapy areas. The building was designed to have easy access to the George Isaac Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, where patients have access to minimally invasive surgical procedures that allow them to be discharged on the same day.
Expanding Orthopaedic care is part of the University Medical Center's larger, continuing goal of strengthening its key featured clinical services lines that include cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurology, trauma, and transplantation. The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery has added three new faculty members in the last year.
UTMC has specialists in the areas of fractures, injuries and problems of the spine, shoulder, elbow, hips, knees, foot and hands, as well as arthritis and sports medicine. The center will be supported by specialists in pain management, rehabilitation, and occupational medicine.
