Congratulations to the Fort Wayne Orthopedics Warsaw team and The Orthopedic Hospital on completing their 500th ROSA® robotic-assisted procedure—a remarkable achievement that reflects clinical excellence, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to patients.

While advanced technology like ROSA® helps support precision and personalization, it’s the skill, experience, and dedication of our physicians and care teams that truly make the difference. This milestone represents countless patients receiving high-quality orthopedic care using the most advanced options available—close to home.

Fort Wayne Orthopedics is proud of our long-standing commitment to the Warsaw community, offering comprehensive orthopedic services, innovative treatment options, and a full range of resources conveniently located on our campus.

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Cole Turner to our West Jefferson Blvd., Gas City, and Dupont clinics!

Dr. Turner is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in hand, elbow, and shoulder surgery. His journey started as a U.S. Army surgeon, where he honed his skills in sports medicine and trauma surgery. Today, he’s committed to helping patients regain function with advanced, minimally invasive techniques..

Outside the clinic, he’s a family man, active in his church, and as a former Division I golfer he still loves getting out on the course.

We’re lucky to have him on the team—and our patients are too!

Help us welcome Dr. George Kolettis to our West Jefferson Blvd., Dupont, and Warsaw clinics!

Dr. Kolettis is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with a passion for helping people get back on their feet—literally. He specializes in hip and knee replacements and embraces the latest techniques like direct anterior hip replacements and kinematic alignment for knee surgery.

When he’s not in the OR, you’ll probably find him with his family, staying active, or cheering on Notre Dame football (Go Irish!)

We’re excited for the expertise, energy, and care he brings to our team. https://www.fwortho.com/providers/george-r-kolettis-md

We’re thrilled to announce an advancement in orthopedic care right here in Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne Orthopedics’ Dr. Nelson has become the first orthopedic surgeon in the U.S. to perform the groundbreaking BioPoly procedure — a synthetic cartilage implant proven successful in Europe for 13+ years and now part of an FDA clinical trial.

This is a historic step forward for knee care! To learn more about BioPoly visit: https://biopolyortho.com/for-healthcare-professionals/products/knee/.

Volleyball history was made in Fort Wayne this week! On Wednesday night, over 5,000 fans packed Carroll High School’s stadium for Indiana’s first-ever outdoor high school volleyball match between Carroll and Homestead. Fort Wayne Orthopedics was proud to be one of the sponsors of this historical event.

The energy was electric with appearances from the Indy Ignite mascot and members of USA Paravolleyball, making the night even more memorable.

A huge thank you to other sponsors such as OPS - Optimum Performance Sports and Dupont Hospital for making this incredible event possible. Special recognition also goes to Dr. Nelson of Fort Wayne Orthopedics, whose leadership helped bring this vision to life.

This was more than just a game—it was a celebration of community, sportsmanship, and the love of volleyball.
