What Orthopedic Surgeons does

Orthopedic Surgeons, Inc. (OSI) is a physician-owned orthopedic and sports medicine practice founded in 1971 and headquartered in North Kansas City, Missouri. It operates four Kansas City-metro clinical offices (North Kansas City, Overland Park, Liberty and Brookside), a dedicated orthopedic urgent care walk-in clinic in Liberty, and five rural outreach clinics in Richmond, Lexington, Excelsior Springs, Cameron and Bethany, with surgical privileges at 8 affiliated hospitals and 3 outpatient surgery centers. Staffing centers on 19 board-certified/board-eligible orthopedic physicians across subspecialties including sports medicine, total joint replacement, foot and ankle, orthopedic trauma and spine, supported by physician assistants and nurse practitioners; the practice also maintains a dedicated workers' compensation service line serving employers, adjusters, case managers and attorneys.

The clinical offering spans end-to-end orthopedic care across the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, plus general orthopedic and sports medicine services. Surgical capabilities include Mako SmartRobotics robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, computer-navigated total knee replacement, direct anterior approach hip replacement (first performed in Missouri by an OSI surgeon in 2009), arthroscopic surgery for multiple joints, ligament reconstruction and total joint replacement. Non-surgical offerings include PRP injections, stem cell/bone marrow aspirate concentrate, viscosupplementation, bracing and physical therapy coordination. Patient-facing digital tools include an EMA patient portal and online bill pay, with medical records routed through Sharecare.

OSI is an independent, for-profit private practice with no parent organization, institutional investor or acquisition signals disclosed. Revenue is generated through insurance-based fee-for-service reimbursement plus self-pay arrangements, a dedicated workers' compensation channel, and an Official Sports Medicine Provider relationship with the Kansas City Comets professional indoor soccer team. Marketing relies on content (website blog), organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), community awards (Best of the Northland, 2025) and sports-team sponsorships rather than paid acquisition.
