Expert Care Open Later,
When You Need It

According to medical experts, the most common recreational injuries are bone and joint-related. One of the most common reasons people visit ERs or urgent care centers is because of sprained joints or broken bones.

The After Hours Clinic at Tucson Orthopaedic Institute is for acute orthopaedic injuries, and is staffed by trained orthopaedic specialists, resulting in lower costs and shorter wait times.

Acute orthopaedic injuries treated at the After Hours Clinic:

  • Strains, sprains, and minor dislocations
  • Breaks and fractures
  • Sports injuries
  • Torn ligaments or tendons
  • Sudden joint injuries
  • Work-related injuries – must bring employer’s claim documentation
