Eleven orthopedic groups in Wisconsin, in partnership with Surgery Partners and Hyde Park Capital, formed Midwest Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Alliance.
All orthopedic groups within MOMA are physician-owned entities, and they aim to form a unified musculoskeletal network, according to an Oct. 1 news release.
The orthopedic groups involved are:
Orthopedic Institute of Wisconsin (Wauwatosa)
Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Center (Greenfield)
TS Ortho LLC, a physician ownership entity in Midwest Orthopedic Specialty Hospital (Franklin)
Orthopedic Specialists & ASMS Holdings, Physician ownership entities in The Surgery Center
Innovative Pain Consultants
Great Lakes Anesthesia & Pain Specialists (Brookfield)

The Midwest has been an area ripe for orthopedic consolidation. Several orthopedic management service organizations have practices in the region. And in 2023 Chicago-based Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and Rockford-based OrthoIllinois formed OrthoMidwest without private equity backing.
