KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — Premier Orthopaedics and Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center have added five physicians across their Greater Philadelphia network, expanding access to joint replacement, reconstructive surgery, upper-extremity care and pain management at offices throughout the Delaware Valley.
