ATLANTA - January 15, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
OrthoAtlanta is pleased to welcome board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Bradford S. Waddell, M.D., to its orthopedic and sports medicine practice at its OrthoAtlanta Piedmont and Piedmont West locations in Atlanta, Georgia. Fellowship trained in adult reconstruction and joint replacement, Dr. Waddell’s practice includes arthritis treatment of the hip and knee, computer-navigated and robotic surgery, custom knee replacement, and anterior approach total hip arthroplasty, also known as front hip replacement. Other procedures include unicompartmental or partial knee replacement, hip resurfacing, and hip fracture surgery.
“The focus of my practice is in treating arthritic conditions of the hip and knee,” said Dr. Bradford Waddell. “My specialization includes anterior approach total hip replacement, commonly referred to as front hip replacement. Appropriate for many patients, this surgical approach is considered a more conservative, less-invasive technique because it requires much less muscle and tissue dissection, typically resulting in less pain, shorter recovery time, and fewer post-operative positional restrictions.”
“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Bradford Waddell to OrthoAtlanta,” said Michael J. Behr, M.D., OrthoAtlanta Medical Director. “Dr. Waddell joins OrthoAtlanta after practicing at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York. He provides experience in treating hip and knee conditions from more conservative, minimally invasive hip and knee surgery to complex revision hip and knee replacement.”
Bradford S. Waddell, M.D., completed his fellowship training in Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement at the Hospital for Special Surgery/Weill-Cornell, New York, New York, in 2016 and a Health Policy Research fellowship from the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons in 2018.
