Recognition cements flagship facility’s role as a regional and national leader in orthopedics
(NOBLESVILLE, IN) Nov. 12, 2025 – Indiana Orthopedic Institute (IOI) continues to make its mark as a regional and national leader in joint replacement and musculoskeletal care. Driven by rapid growth, clinical innovation, and a commitment to exceptional outcomes, IOI is setting a new standard for orthopedic excellence, underscored by the recognition of its CEO and founder, Dr. Michael Meneghini, on Newsweek’s list of America’s Leading Doctors 2025. Dr. Meneghini was the sole central Indiana physician recognized by Newsweek among the nation’s top 200 hip surgeons.
This honor, awarded by Newsweek and Statista Inc., underscores IOI’s commitment to building one of the nation’s most advanced and outcomes-driven orthopedic programs. Newsweek and Statista have ranked and awarded doctors in 15 different medical specialties based on four data sources:
- Physician Performance Data: Doctors’ performance benchmark data sourced from Arcadia was used to evaluate a physician’s performed procedures against the state average based on the volume of episodes performed and five measures per procedure (e.g., complications by episodes, mortality rate).
- Recommendations From Peers: Thousands of medical experts (physicians, managers/administrators, and other medical professionals with knowledge in the respective medical field) in 20 US states were invited to an online survey.
- Quality Score: For In-State recommendations, participants were asked to assess the quality of care (e.g., treatments, follow-up care, use of most recent equipment) and professional expertise of the specific specialty.
- Certifications: Surgeons received 5% towards their total score if they have American medical and surgical certifications relevant to each specific medical field.
“At IOI, our mission has always been to elevate the standard of orthopedic care through innovation, teamwork, and a relentless focus on quality,” said Dr. Meneghini. “This recognition represents the collective effort of our entire team, who share a commitment to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients. As we continue to expand, we remain focused on redefining what excellent musculoskeletal care looks like in our region, across Indiana and beyond.”
Since opening its doors, IOI has expanded to serve thousands of patients across the Hoosier State, offering specialized care in joint replacement and sports medicine. Through its partnership with Healthcare Outcomes Performance Company (HOPCo), IOI leverages advanced analytics and digital platforms that improve outcomes, enhance patient satisfaction, and set new standards in orthopedic care.
The recognition of Dr. Meneghini on Newsweek’s America’s Leading Doctors 2025 list exemplifies IOI’s pursuit of excellence and its growing reputation as a destination for comprehensive, patient-centered orthopedic care.
