Welcome to my website! My purpose is to provide an easy-to-use and informative location on the internet to inform patients about problems of the hip and knee and to explain modern methods of treatment. Fortunately, many hip and knee problems will respond to conservative measures of treatment, and we prefer to use these methods whenever possible. However, when these measures fail there are successful surgical options that can greatly relieve pain and restore function and mobility.

As a sub-specialty trained joint replacement surgeon, I have gone on to have an additional level of training. I completed my Fellowship in Adult Reconstructive Surgery at the Center for Hip and Knee Surgery in Indianapolis and since have focused my attention and expertise on problems of the hip and knee. In Arkansas, there are over 160 Orthopedic surgeons, but only 4 in Central Arkansas have this added level of training. Three of these 4 are in our clinic, Arkansas Specialty Orthopaedics.

For the past 15-20 years there has been an explosion of knowledge and development of new surgical techniques. To manage this development an increasing number of orthopedic surgeons have sub-specialized their training and practice. Presently in this country, surgeons who perform 50 or fewer joint replacements per year do 80% of joint replacements. As a specialist in Joint Replacement, I perform over 400 joint replacements per year. This added level of training, practice and experience brings my patients a greater likelihood of an excellent result.

I hope you find this website gives you the information you need to understand more about problems of the hip and knee and modern methods of treatment.
