High-quality orthopedic care isn’t a box to check at the end of a successful procedure. It means supporting each patient throughout their entire journey, from diagnosis and treatment through rehabilitation and recovery.
That commitment has earned OrthoNebraska U.S. News & World Report High Performing ratings for 2026–27 in three procedures and conditions: hip replacement, knee replacement and back surgery. A “High Performing” rating indicates that a hospital performed significantly better than the national average for that condition.
Recognition Rooted in Patient Care
U.S. News & World Report evaluates nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide to help patients make more informed decisions about where to receive care. Its Procedures & Conditions ratings consider a range of measures, including patient outcomes, quality of care and a hospital’s ability to treat patients undergoing specific procedures.
At OrthoNebraska, these ratings reflect the work happening every day across our integrated team of physicians, nurses, therapists and other orthopedic specialists.
“We’re proud to see the work of our physicians, nurses, therapists and entire care team recognized by U.S. News & World Report,” said Beth Gard, President of OrthoNebraska. “These ratings showcase our commitment to providing high-quality orthopedic care and helping patients get back to the most important activities in their lives.”
An Experience Worth Recommending
Our commitment to each individual extends beyond clinical outcomes. According to U.S. News & World Report, 95% of OrthoNebraska patients say they would recommend the hospital to others, compared with a national average of 87%.
“Every patient has a different goal for what getting better looks like,” Gard said. “It is our honor to provide the expertise, resources and support they need to get there safely and confidently.”
Putting Quality Into Practice
From the first appointment to the final steps of recovery, our goal is to make specialized orthopedic expertise accessible and personal. By bringing together surgical and nonsurgical treatment, rehabilitation and a team of specialists focused on musculoskeletal health, we can support patients across the full continuum of care.
These U.S. News & World Report ratings are a reflection of that commitment, and of the physicians, nurses, therapists and team members who put it into practice every day.
