Our Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Johns Hopkins was established in 1900.
By 1937, one-sixth of the 150 surgeons certified as orthopaedic surgeons by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery had completed their residencies at Johns Hopkins.
Although Hopkins draws patients and scholars from all over the globe, our Medical Institutions remain firmly committed to serving the health needs of Baltimore and the state of Maryland.
Today, the Johns Hopkins Department of Orthopaedic Surgery serves 3 main campuses:
- Johns Hopkins Hospital (East Baltimore Campus)
- Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center
- Good Samaritan Hospital (GSH)
The Johns Hopkins Good Samaritan Division of Arthritis Surgery was established in 1974 by Dr. David S. Hungerford, a pioneer and world-leader in hip and knee replacement surgery.
In addition to Orthopaedic Surgery, the Johns Hopkins Departments of Rheumatology as well as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) also have a strong presence at the Good Samaritan Campus. We feel that this nexus of musculoskeletal specialists and experts at GSH is one of the factors that makes for a superior patient experience at our campus.
Indeed, a recent US New and World Report ranking recognized GSH as a Center of Excellence in all three disciplines – orthopaedic surgery, rheumatology and PM&R.
Since its founding, our group has expanded to include national and world leaders in the fields of shoulder surgery, spine surgery, sports medicine, and foot and ankle reconstruction.
In 2009, we changed our group name to Johns Hopkins Orthopaedic and Spine Surgery at GSH in order to better reflect our new organization.
All of our group members hold full-time faculty appointments through the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and work diligently to fullfill our founder’s vision of producing superior surgeons through our residency training program, administering the finest patient care through compassionate 21st-century medicine, and seeking new knowledge by advancing the field of orthopaedic surgery.
