Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute

Specialized Treatment of Acute and Chronic Orthopaedic Injuries

The Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute is staffed by some of the top orthopaedic specialists in the region through a partnership with Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists and Comprehensive Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Care. The surgeons, and their patients, also have access to the best-available, robotics-assisted technology – Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery for knees and hips, Mazor X Robotic Spine Surgery for the spine – that makes a procedure less invasive and more precise. For you, that means a quicker recovery and restored function of your knee, hip, or spine.

The Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute’s mission is to provide an exceptional patient experience while delivering world-class quality and safe care. The institute is staffed by some of the top orthopaedic specialists in the region who care for a variety of orthopaedic problems and provide you with a comprehensive view of the best treatment options for your orthopaedic problems. Whether you need a total joint replacement or help recovering quickly from a minor sports injury, our orthopaedic specialists will determine the best way to get you back on your feet. Feedback from our patient experience scores has led to an overall score of 95, which was higher than 99 percent of the hospitals in the same group within Connecticut and nationally. Our industry-leading length of stay for total hips and knees is well below the national average, and 95% of patients are able to be discharged home.

If you are having constant pain, trouble sleeping, or difficulty walking, and are considering hip or knee replacement surgery, we are here to help.

Women's Choice Award - Orthopedics MidState Medical Center has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics by the Women’s Choice Award®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. The award signifies that MidState is in the top 3% of 4,542 U.S. hospitals reviewed.

The methodology used to select MidState as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics is unique in that it evaluates Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results along with primary research about women’s healthcare preferences. Award recipients are also measured on their incidence of surgical complications and infections, including:

A wound that splits open after surgery
Accidental cuts and tears
Deaths from serious treatable complications
Rate of complications for knee or hip replacement patients
Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureu (MRSA) infections

A hospital must have arthroscopy, joint replacement and spine surgery orthopedic services available to patients, onsite physical therapy, and an MRI in order to qualify for the award. It is the only award recognizing excellence in orthopedics based on robust criteria that consider patient satisfaction and clinical excellence.

MidState Medical Center is one of 455 award recipients representing the hospitals that have met the highest standards for orthopedics care across the U.S.
