The mission of the residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Henry Ford Macomb is to prepare post-graduate physicians for the practice of Orthopedic Surgery. Orthopedic Surgery is the medical specialty that includes the study of and prevention of musculoskeletal diseases, disorders, and injuries and their treatment by medical, surgical, and physical methods. The trainers will provide experience and education in operative and non-operative procedures.

Graduated residents will be prepared to practice as orthopedic surgeons at the end of their residency.
