Orthopaedic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center have long been recognized for their success in the treatment of orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis, osteonecrosis, joint replacement, sports injuries, hand surgery and other musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

UT Southwestern’s skilled physicians are committed to excellence in patient care while expanding the field of orthopaedic surgery, with groundbreaking research and new surgical techniques. Our staff has extensive experience in orthopaedic surgery, from simple outpatient treatments to the most complex joint replacement operations.

Our orthopaedic surgeons:

• Are experts in cutting-edge surgical techniques, like percutaneous fixation of fractures, surface replacement joint preservation surgery and minimally invasive muscle-sparing hip surgery.
• Were the first in North Texas to use a gender-specific (female) prosthetic for knee replacement.
• Offer expert reconstruction after trauma.

UT Southwestern also offers the latest in radiology and diagnostics technology, allowing surgeons to identify patients’ individual problems and provide the most accurate diagnosis.

Our team of physicians, researchers and clinical service providers evaluate patients and create a comprehensive treatment program for their specific condition. UT Southwestern physicians work with patients to choose the course of action that will yield the best results, using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.

Our rehabilitation team includes nurses, neuropsychologists, psychologists and occupational, physical and recreational therapists. After the surgical course of treatment is complete, our rehabilitation staff works closely with patients and their families to provide the specialized training needed to achieve the best results possible.
