HSS Prosthetics & Orthotics Service
Founded in 1863, the Prosthetics and Orthotics Service at HSS is dedicated to providing patients with the most up-to-date limb replacement and bracing devices available. Services include a comprehensive, world-class facility capable of fitting, crafting, modifying, fabricating, and delivering prefabricated and custom prosthetic limbs, scoliosis braces, and orthotic appliances which are tailor-made for any orthopedic condition. These services are provided by our contracted vendors on-site and locally near our hospital locations.
Experts in HSS P&O are certified by the American Board of Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics, Inc. (ABC), and the facility itself is an Accredited Facility. The products they provide are meant to correct, protect, assist, and support various appendages and other afflicted locations around the body.
HSS P&O maintains its own self-contained onsite fabrication laboratory to ensure the quality of each custom-made device is consistently excellent from start to finish. Additionally, HSS P&O performs consultations for HSS physicians and maintains a prosthetics and orthotics clinic at HSS every week.

The Ellen and Joe Wright Prosthetic and Orthotic Fund
The Ellen and Joe Wright Prosthetic and Orthotic Fund makes it possible for pediatric patients to receive the custom and non-custom devices they need. These patients seek care for conditions including, but not limited to, spina bifida, arthritis, limb length discrepancy, cerebral palsy, and ACL injury.
The demands on the fund continue to grow as insurers place further restrictions on coverage, and delays in payment may occur even for those devices that are covered. The Wright Fund bridges this gap for those who need our services most.
The Ellen and Joe Wright Prosthetic and Orthotic Fund has improved the lives of patients by helping them maintain and enhance their mobility and quality of life. We anticipate that the demand for these services will continue to grow, and it is gratifying to know that through the Wright Fund, Hospital for Special Surgery has the resources to help those we care for get the prosthetic and orthotic devices they need.
Want to help?

HSS employs its own Director of Prosthetics and Orthotics, Chrysta Irolla, who can be contacted at 212.606.1022 or irollac@hss.edu.
