HomePatient Information

Patients today are more medically literate than they were even 10 years ago. Knowledge is power – it can reduce the fear and anxiety that often accompanies musculoskeletal injuries. The Orthopaedic Program is committed to providing patients with authoritative, exact information to enhance their healthcare experience and satisfaction.

  • Learn About Your Condition - Patient education guides on over 200 topics describing common orthopaedic problems and treatments. Includes access to the latest orthopaedic news from popular orthopaedic medical journals and answers to frequently asked orthopaedic questions.

  • Find Trusted Information on the Internet - Getting lost on Google when you search for patient information? We have selected trusted websites and created a simple search tool to help our patients find useful information. 

  • Brochures You Might Need - A collection of relevant preoperative and postoperative brochures that you might require during your hospital care.

  • Watch Surgery - Videos of common orthopaedic procedures that you can watch to better understand your upcoming surgery.

  • Web Links - A collection of links to orthopaedic associations, organisations, and other related resources.


Surgical suites are equipped with the most advanced audiovisual systems in Canada. Information can be relayed anywhere in the world, creating opportunities in research and education. A Picture Archiving Communication System integrates information between medical imaging and surgery departments.
