About Us

The Institute of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine was founded to bring first-world orthopedic care to the Philippines. The Institute performs all relevant services for clinical and surgical procedures complemented by specialized equipment and facilities. Its Specialized Orthopedic Care Unit is equipped with a circular bed, Stryker bed for spine trauma cases, and a wide range of traction equipment and various bed frame devices. The Institute’s Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Section, the first hospital-based sports medicine unit in the country, boasts of having performed the most number of successful arthroscopic-assisted surgeries in the Philippines, many of which were for the country’s top athletes.

The Spine section has been the trailblazer in spine surgery not only in the country but in the region as well. In 1993, its “Awake Anesthesia” program introduced the Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery using Microscopic Decompression for Lumbar Degenerative conditions such as Slipped Disc and Spinal Stenosis; the procedure was performed either progressive, local or epidural or a combination of all three. It was the first to use Intra-operative Spinal Cord Monitoring for spinal surgery especially Scoliosis Surgery in 1991, Image Guided Surgery for Spine Instrumentation in 2004, and performed the First Total Disc Replacement in 2005.

In addition to Spine, Trauma and Sports Medicine, the Institute also offers its expertise in Adult Orthopedics, Musculoskeletal Tumors, Adult Joint Reconstruction, Pediatric Orthopedics, and Hand and Microsurgery. It also offers the latest technology in limb lengthening and straightening through Fitbone technology.

The St. Luke's Bone Bank (SLBB) is also an addition to the Institute of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine's commitment to provide optimum medical care in the field of reconstructive orthopedics. The St. Luke’s Bone Bank (SLBB) is the country’s first such facility in a private hospital setting.
