AHN Orthopaedic Institute

If nagging sports injuries or orthopaedic conditions are slowing you down, the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Orthopaedic Institute can help. Our team includes nationally recognized experts who deliver focused care for issues such as hand injuries, spine problems, and foot pain.

Our experts come together in teams to put an end to orthopaedic problems and sports injuries that may be disrupting your life. These capabilities are one reason thousands of people turn to AHN each year.

Our orthopaedic specialties offer:

Uncommon expertise: We deliver trusted care for western Pennsylvania’s most complex medical problems, including severe hand injuries (trauma). We repair damaged tissue and restore functioning so you can live your best life.

Life-changing care: We help people return to their favorite activities and perform everyday tasks, such as climbing stairs, with ease. We get to the source of stubborn symptoms, including foot pain, and tailor treatments to help you achieve outstanding results.

Innovative treatments: At AHN, you have access to promising treatments before they’re widely available. We were the first program in western Pennsylvania offering robotic surgery for hip and knee replacement. These procedures help our surgeons replace worn-out joints using robotic surgical technology.
