UCLA’s dedicated walk-in orthopedic clinic will provide care to adults and children with unexpected, acute orthopedic injuries such as fractures, pulled muscles and sprains, according to a Sept. 18 news release from the health system. 

The UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center is staffed by orthopedic and sports medicine physicians who specialize in the treatment of bone, muscle and joint injuries. Imaging, diagnostic tests and treatment including casting and splinting are performed on site, as are any follow-up appointments.

The clinic is equipped to handle hand, wrist, shoulder and foot injuries, sprains, hip, arm or leg fractures, dislocations or joint injuries and sports injuries. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
