Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute

Healthgrades has recognized Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest as being in the top 10% of U.S. hospitals for orthopedic surgery in 2025. This recognition acknowledges facilities with superior patient outcomes in back and neck surgery, spinal fusion, hip fracture treatment, hip replacement and total knee replacement. We are pleased to provide patients access to high-quality orthopedic care and are thrilled to be nationally recognized for our commitment to patient care and quality outcomes. 

With the addition of Dr. Leighann Krasney to the Mountain Valley Orthopedics team, Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–Pocono and the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute is pleased to now offer patients in Monroe County access to expanded orthopedic surgical capabilities. Specializing in shoulder and elbow injuries and conditions, Dr. Krasney now performs rotator cuff tendon repairs, shoulder and elbow fracture surgeries, as well as shoulder replacement procedures at LVH–Pocono. Performing shoulder replacement surgeries at LVH-Pocono gives patients in this area access to subspeciality orthopedic care that was not previously available. Our team is excited to play an even bigger role in helping patients return to activities they enjoy pain-free.

Tom Reinert, a dedicated marathon runner from Mertztown, didn’t let knee pain stop him. After Wayne Luchetti, MD, Associate Chief of the Division of Orthopedic Surgery, performed a partial knee replacement, Tom regained his strength. In fact, in his first marathon after the surgery Tom finished first in his age group in the Atlantic City Marathon. He’s now running up to 60 miles a week and has big plans for future marathons, including the Boston Marathon in April 2025.
