CommonSpirit Orthopedic Institute is Nebraska's premier dedicated orthopedic hospital, providing focused, high-quality surgical and non-surgical care for musculoskeletal conditions in a facility purpose-built for orthopedic excellence. As part of CommonSpirit Health's Midwest network, the institute delivers superior outcomes, shorter wait times, and a more specialized experience than a general acute care hospital can provide. The institute's surgical program specializes in primary and revision total knee and hip replacement, using Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery that delivers sub-millimeter precision in implant positioning — resulting in better alignment, reduced wear, and longer implant survivorship. Shoulder arthroplasty, including anatomic and reverse total shoulder replacement, and advanced sports medicine surgery round out the joint replacement program. Spine surgery at the institute encompasses cervical and lumbar disc replacement, minimally invasive fusion, complex deformity correction, and revision spinal surgery. All spine procedures are supported by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and advanced imaging guidance. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and aquatic therapy are co-located with surgical services, enabling a seamless rehabilitation experience beginning on the day of surgery. The institute's infection control protocols, nurse-to-patient ratios, and facility design are optimized specifically for orthopedic patients.
