What the code means

Recognized by several state medical boards as a fellowship subspecialty program of orthopaedic surgery, orthopaedic trauma surgeons deal with the evaluation and management of acute orthopaedic injuries, evaluation and treatment of post-traumatic deformities and nonunions, acute and delayed reconstruction of pelvic and acetabular fractures, as well as osteotomy in the adult hip for treatment of hip arthritis.

Where they are

Counted by practice location, not by mailing address or by licence state. A provider practising across a state line is counted where they practise.

Who registers under this code

893 of these are people and 153 are organisations, so 15% of the code is businesses rather than clinicians. Half of them had registered by 2009, and 47 registered in the last five years, 4% of the current population.

That is a slow-growing code, which usually means an established field replacing retirements rather than expanding.

Where the practices are

By practice-location city. City counts are noisier than state counts, because a large employer files one address for many providers.

Looking up a specific provider

These counts come from the monthly NPPES file. To check one provider, use their NPI: the lookup reads the live registry and shows whether the identifier is still active, which the monthly file cannot tell you about the last few weeks.
