Orthopedic Services
Sports Medicine
Our primary care sports medicine physicians have extensive experience caring for adolescents and adults. They care for athletes and non-athletes, helping them recover from injuries.
Spine
The Summa Health Orthopedic Institute can treat many painful, yet common spinal conditions, including neck and back pain, herniated discs, and spinal trauma. During your consultation, all options will be explored and tailored individually to you.
Joint Replacement
A leader in hip and knee treatment, the Summa Health Joint Replacement Center of Excellence has earned national recognition for meeting rigorous standards. Our board-certified specialists provide a full spectrum of care, from nonsurgical treatment through joint replacement surgery.
Foot and Ankle
Although mild foot and ankle pain often responds well to home treatments, it can take time to resolve. The orthopedic specialists at Summa Health treat patients of all ages for foot and ankle conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, and tendon tears.
Hand
Our orthopedic specialists treat common conditions of the hand such as carpal tunnel and trigger finger. Both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options are available.

Summa Health provides both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for all upper extremity conditions, from the fingertip to the shoulder. Many upper extremity injuries can be treated nonsurgically with therapy, injections and splinting.

The Summa Health Orthopedic Institute has one of only seven orthopedic oncologists practicing in the state of Ohio. As one of the few orthopedic oncologists in the state, Scott D. Weiner, M.D., sees patients from an area that encompasses northern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

The Summa Health Orthopedic Institute has the expertise to handle the most complex trauma cases, from fractured femurs to conditions that include multiple injuries to all extremities. Our orthopedic surgeons handle the most complex traumatic fractures through the Level 1 Trauma Center and provide comprehensive care for any traumatic injury.

Your recovery is important to us. Our orthopedic specialists and care team coordinate your care with Summa’s physical therapists, occupational therapists and athletic trainers to develop a recovery plan to help you reach your goals.
