Bethesda’s Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics acquires Winchester Orthopaedic Associates

The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics (CAO), one of the largest providers of orthopaedic care in the country, continued its growth across the mid-Atlantic Tuesday with the addition of Winchester Orthopaedic Associates into its growing family of integrated care centers.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. This move marks further expansion of the Bethesda-based practice in Virginia and now brings the organization’s brand to West Virginia.

Winchester Orthopaedic Associates, known for its expertise in general orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy and occupational therapy, brings 31 employees to CAO. This integration enhances patient access to top-tier musculoskeletal care across an even broader geographic area.

Established in 1973, Winchester Orthopaedic Associates is a provider of comprehensive orthopaedic care, with three locations across Winchester and Front Royal, Virginia as well as a physical therapy practice in Ranson, West Virginia.

The team of physicians, advanced practitioners, physical therapists and occupational therapists offers a full range of services, including trauma surgery, total joint replacement, sports medicine offerings and vestibular/vertigo conditions.

CAO was founded in 2013 when 128 orthopaedic physicians representing more than 20 individual private practices across the mid-Atlantic came together under one unifying mission: to redefine and empower the private practice model of care. CAO has seen considerable growth since its launch, offering orthopaedic specialty care from head to toe across more than 60 care centers and more than 60 physical therapy clinics throughout Maryland, Washington, Virginia and West Virginia.
