Job description

Ortho Northeast (ONE) Fort Wayne, IN Full Time Jun 16, 2026 · Jun 16, 2026

Location: Fort Wayne, Indiana (with statewide network expansion)
Job Type: Private Practice (Employed with Partnership Track)
Position Type: Full-Time

Ortho Northeast (ONE) is actively recruiting a fellowship-trained Orthopedic Hand Surgeon to join one of the largest and most established independent, physician-led orthopedic practices in the United States. This position offers a rare opportunity for a graduating hand fellow or early-career surgeon to step into a pure hand surgery practice with immediate volume, zero dedicated hand call, and a clear, transparent track to full partnership and ancillary ownership.

Position Highlights & Description

As a Hand Surgeon at ONE, you will inherit the market-leading brand recognition and infrastructure required to instantly scale your clinical practice. You will focus entirely on patient care and surgical excellence while a highly coordinated administrative and clinical team handles operational friction.

• Pure Hand Practice: Step directly into a dedicated hand surgery volume with the option to expand into a broader upper-extremity scope if desired.
• Surgical Efficiency: Enjoy access to 2 to 3 dedicated operating rooms per surgeon, backed by a specialized anesthesia team deeply experienced in orthopedic workflows.
• No Dedicated Hand Call: Maintain an exceptional work-life balance without the burden of specialized hand trauma call.
• Turnkey Support: Work with a dedicated Physician Assistant (PA), nursing staff, a scribe, and an assigned Hand Program Director to streamline your clinic and operative days.
• Diverse Surgical Settings: Benefit from seamless scheduling and exceptional block time across both our physician-owned orthopedic hospital and efficient ASC settings.

Candidate Requirements

• Board-certified or Board-eligible (BC/BE) Orthopedic Surgeon.
• Successful completion of an ACGME-accredited Hand Surgery Fellowship.
• Graduating fellows and early-career surgeons are highly encouraged to apply. Must demonstrate a collaborative mindset, excellent clinical judgment, and a desire to practice at the highest standards of subspecialized care.

Compensation, Benefits & Financial Path

• Highly competitive, guaranteed base salary commensurate with experience, transitioning into a lucrative production-based model.
• Clear, transparent, and structured path to full practice partnership.
• Immediate and long-term ownership opportunities in our physician-owned orthopedic hospital and multiple physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
• Up to 60 days of annual vacation, CME, and personal time.
• Premium health, dental, and vision insurance; robust retirement plans/401(k) matching; malpractice coverage; and professional allowance (CME, dues, journals).

Academic & Professional Growth

While maintaining the autonomy and financial upside of private practice, ONE provides an infrastructure frequently restricted to major academic centers:

• Research Infrastructure: Access a robust internal research and data-collection framework.
• Publishing Opportunities: Engage in clinical research, long-term outcomes studies, and academic publishing if aligned with your professional goals.
