We are proud of the fact that many of us have been with First State Orthopaedics for more than 20 years. The physicians at First State Orthopaedics have become an integral part of the community in which we live. By devoting our energy and our time to many charitable causes, we have provided important assistance to those in the community who benefit most from our involvement. Sixteen of us are trai

ned in orthopaedic surgery; two are trained in pain management/rehabilitation and one in non-operative sports medicine. We provide both surgical and nonsurgical treatment for orthopaedic illnesses and injuries, and are specially trained in the current state-of-the-art techniques. We serve as team physicians for over 20 high schools, Goldey-Beacom College, Wilmington University, and many local recreational and competitive leagues. We operate at Christiana, Wilmington, and St. Francis Hospitals, and the First State Surgery Center. Our doctors are usually available to all the local emergency and urgent care centers for consultation and treatment. We look forward to serving your orthopaedic needs and thank you for allowing us to participate in your care.

Spotted at the PGA Championship: FSO spine surgeon Dr. Lingenfelter and his new bodyguard, Big Dom 😆🦅⛳

Don’t worry—we’re pretty sure it’s the other way around. After all, Dr. Lingenfelter is used to handling some of the toughest cases around 💪

It was a great day at the PGA Championship and an even better opportunity to meet one of Philadelphia’s most recognizable sideline personalities.

First State Orthopaedics is proud to support the Caravel Track Team and celebrate an incredible season of hard work, determination, and achievement!

Thanks to the dedication of these student-athletes and coaches, the team earned outstanding performances across the state, including multiple Top 10 Delaware rankings, DIAA Division 2 Championship highlights, and a school-record-breaking Girls 4x100 Relay team that shattered a 24-year-old record with a time of 51.59!

We’re honored that our support helped the team compete at Adidas and New Balance Nationals during the indoor season, and we wish them the best of luck as they head to North Carolina for Adidas Nationals in June.

Congratulations to the entire Caravel Track Team on an amazing season — your hard work continues to make your school and community proud! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏

FSO had a busy weekend! 💚

We had the honor as a team of raising over $5,525 for the Arthritis Foundation, and participating in the Walk to Cure Arthritis!

We also were so excited to support Dr. Bodenstab as the medical honoree. Thank you so much to everybody who walked with us, donated, and supported our efforts, as well as to our very own Dr. Smucker, the President of the Delaware Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation 👏

We’re proud to support the next generation of healthcare professionals! 💛

This week, our clinical supervisors attended the signing event at St. Georges Technical High School to celebrate four graduating students officially signing on with First State Orthopaedics through our co-op partnership program.

Pictured are Morgan and Jaelyn, two of the talented students joining our team through this partnership, while Makenna and Madelyn were celebrated in spirit and are not pictured.

We’re excited to continue investing in local students, hands-on learning, and future careers in healthcare. Congratulations to all four grads — we can’t wait to see all they accomplish with FSO! 👏🎓
