HSS is the world’s leading academic medical center focused on musculoskeletal health. At its core is Hospital for Special Surgery, ranked No. 1 for orthopedics for nine consecutive years by U.S.News & World Report (2018-2019).
Founded in 1863, Hospital for Special Surgery is the oldest orthopedic hospital in the United States. More than 30,000 surgical procedures are performed annually. HSS performs more hip surgeries and more knee replacements than any other hospital in the US.
HSS has also been among the top-ranked hospitals for both orthopedics and rheumatology for 27 consecutive years. Because an infection can be a devastating outcome for an orthopedic patient, HSS takes infection control extremely seriously and has one of the lowest infection rates in the country.
