Rothman Orthopaedics at Jefferson Health
A New Era for Orthopaedics
When musculoskeletal pain strikes, its effects aren’t limited to a single bone, muscle, or ligament—it impacts every step, every action, and every facet of a person’s life. It’s a unique type of pain that lingers and spreads, diminishing your quality of life and changing what it means to feel “normal.” In these moments when musculoskeletal pain won’t quit, you don’t want just any orthopaedic practice—you want the best.
That is why, in these moments, more patients choose Rothman Orthopaedics at Jefferson Health than any other program. We don’t simply want to get our patients back to normal. We want to get them better—living without pain, adjustment, or compromise. This is our mission, our passion, and our promise. And it’s made possible by the support of generous benefactors like you.
Research
Our world-renowned researchers are studying musculoskeletal challenges at the molecular and cellular level. These discoveries are powering new innovations and cellular therapies designed to target pain at its biological source, addressing both the mechanical symptoms of orthopaedic conditions and their underlying physiological causes. In doing so, it is our ultimate vision to make enduring challenges like chronic back pain, infection, excessive scarring, and fibrosis a thing of the past.
