What We Do

We analyze CMS Medicare Part B Provider Utilization and Payment Data to rank orthopedic surgeons by the number of total hip, knee, and shoulder replacement procedures they perform. Our rankings cover every state, 915+ cities, and include hospital quality data, trend analysis, and national percentile comparisons. All data is free and open under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Story Angles for Journalists

The Volume-Outcome Connection

Research shows high-volume surgeons achieve up to 50% lower complication rates. Our data reveals which surgeons perform the most procedures in every state -- and the gap between high and low-volume surgeons is striking.

Geographic Disparities in Surgeon Access

Some states have 600+ orthopedic surgeons while others have fewer than 20. Our data maps surgeon concentration by city, revealing which communities are underserved for joint replacement care.

Medicare Data Transparency

CMS publishes physician-level procedure data but it's buried in CSV files. OrthoProcedures makes it searchable, rankable, and understandable for patients and researchers.

AI Search is Citing Our Data

Bing Copilot cites OrthoProcedures 800+ times per week in AI-generated answers about orthopedic surgeons. We've optimized our data for AI discoverability with llms.txt and open APIs.
