OrthoVirginia is a leading orthopedic practice in Virginia, combining science, technology, and a creative approach to deliver premier orthopedic, physical therapy, and sports medicine care. It evolved from West End Orthopaedics, originally founded in the early 1900s in Richmond, and officially adopted the OrthoVirginia name in 2011. The practice has grown significantly through multiple mergers with regional orthopedic groups, expanding its presence across Virginia, including Richmond, Northern Virginia, Lynchburg, Hampton Roads, and Southwest Virginia.
The practice serves patients through 11 office locations, with six primary clinics strategically located near Richmond’s acute-care hospitals where OrthoVirginia physicians operate. These include offices near Chippenham Hospital, Hanover, Henrico, Johnston-Willis, St. Francis, and St. Mary’s. OrthoVirginia employs more than 350 clinical, technical, paraprofessional, support, and administrative personnel, underscoring its significant scale and commitment to comprehensive orthopedic care.
OrthoVirginia’s history reflects a legacy of dedicated orthopedic service spanning over a century, starting from the early 1900s with founding physicians in Richmond. Its modern formation began with Dr. John F. Butterworth III joining in 1957 and has evolved through strategic mergers in the 2000s and 2010s, such as the 2015 merger with Commonwealth Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, further solidifying its presence in Northern Virginia. Notably, in 2022, OrthoVirginia became the official orthopedic and sports medicine partner of the Washington Commanders, emphasizing its role in sports medicine.
The organization provides a wide range of orthopedic treatments and rehabilitation services, supported by advanced technology and a highly credentialed team. It remains an independent group committed to patient-centered care and innovative treatment approaches.
OrthoVirginia maintains an accessible and informative online presence through its official website, enabling patients to learn more about its physicians, services, and locations across Virginia. This comprehensive infrastructure supports its mission to improve orthopedic health in the communities it serves.
