What Anne Arundel Orthopaedic Surgeons does

Anne Arundel Orthopaedic Surgeons, P.A. (AAOS) is a Maryland-based orthopaedic medical practice founded in 1972 and currently operating as a division of The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics (CAO), a multi-state musculoskeletal network spanning Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The practice employs five fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopaedic surgeons and one physician assistant, delivering general orthopaedics, sports medicine, hand and upper extremity surgery (including microvascular surgery), total joint replacement (with computer navigation and robotics), and in-house physical therapy across four Maryland sites — main office and PT clinic in Annapolis, plus offices in Bowie and Glen Burnie. Surgical cases are performed under privileges at Anne Arundel Medical Center (where the affiliated Joint Center is recognized as the busiest joint replacement program in Maryland and top 10 percent nationally for patient experience) and Riva Road Surgery Center.

The practice operates a traditional fee-for-service clinical model: patients are acquired via primary care and specialist referrals, athletic trainer networks, team physician affiliations (Bowie Baysox, US Naval Academy sports medicine fellowship, Washington Power Indoor Lacrosse, Women's World Cup Lacrosse, local high schools), and direct self-referrals through an online scheduling portal. Payment is collected at time of service from patients and a broad payer mix including Medicare, HMOs, and PPOs. Underlying technology is non-differentiated and infrastructure-only: Modernizing Medicine's EMA platform for EMR/patient portal/billing, Doxy.me for telemedicine, and computer-navigated/robotic instrumentation for joint reconstruction. AAOS has no disclosed AI/ML, no disclosed revenue or funding, and no public listing, reflecting its character as a private, clinically autonomous practice unit within a larger physician-led orthopaedic network.

Direct peers

• OrthoVirginia: Multi-subspecialty orthopaedic practice operating throughout Virginia with sub-specialists in sports medicine, joint replacement, and hand surgery. Directly comparable to AAOS as a Mid-Atlantic private orthopaedic group within the broader CAO regional network footprint.
• Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic: Mid-sized Mid-Atlantic orthopaedic group based in Arlington, VA. Comparable to AAOS as a multi-subspecialty private practice offering joint replacement, sports medicine, and hand/upper extremity surgery in a similar regional market.
• Towson Orthopaedic Associates: Maryland-based multi-subspecialty orthopaedic practice offering similar services to AAOS (joint replacement, sports medicine, hand surgery, PT) in the same regional market. Most direct local competitor.
• Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic: Renowned sports medicine and orthopaedic surgery practice in Los Angeles with deep professional sports team physician affiliations. Comparable to AAOS's sports medicine orientation and team physician relationships (Bowie Baysox, Naval Academy).

Broad incumbents

• Rothman Orthopaedic Institute: One of the largest orthopaedic specialty groups in the U.S., based in the Mid-Atlantic/Philadelphia region. Comparable to AAOS in offering multi-subspecialty orthopaedic care (joint replacement, sports medicine, spine) and serving a similar patient demographic, but at substantially greater scale across multiple states.
• Hospital for Special Surgery: The nation's leading specialty hospital for orthopaedics and rheumatology. Comparable to AAOS in core orthopaedic service mix (joint replacement, sports medicine, hand surgery) but operates as a specialty hospital rather than a community private practice.
• Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush: Academic-affiliated orthopaedic group in Chicago with nationally recognized sports medicine and joint replacement programs. Comparable to AAOS in subspecialty depth and team physician affiliations, though at significantly larger scale and academic hospital affiliation.
• Resurgens Orthopaedics: Large multi-subspecialty orthopaedic practice in Georgia with 20+ offices and 100+ physicians. Offers the same core service mix as AAOS (general orthopaedics, sports medicine, joint replacement, hand/upper extremity, PT), demonstrating the multi-site private orthopaedic group model at a much larger scale.
• The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics: AAOS's parent network providing orthopaedic care across Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Comparable as the umbrella platform containing AAOS and peer divisions offering similar subspecialty services under one administrative structure.

Regional players

• Private Diagnostic Clinic (Duke Orthopaedics): Academic-affiliated multi-subspecialty orthopaedic practice in North Carolina. Comparable to AAOS in offering fellowship-trained specialists across joint replacement, sports medicine, and hand/upper extremity, but anchored to a different health system.
