Hip
Direct anterior THA with a defined exposure, a defined bailout, and stems chosen for the bone in front of you — not the tray that was opened first.
Military reconstruction surgeon. Engineer by training. The job is not a pretty x-ray. It is a hip or knee that feels like it belongs to the person who walked in.
How the work is done
Direct anterior THA with a defined exposure, a defined bailout, and stems chosen for the bone in front of you — not the tray that was opened first.
VELYS robotic TKA aimed at the patient’s phenotype, not a universal 180°. The envelope is measured. Standing deformity is not reconstructed.
The cases other orthopaedists call about. Infection, failed graft, destroyed joint. Restore a durable limb, then get out of the way of a life.
For residents and staff: a calculator that names the CPAK phenotype from mLDFA and MPTA and shows why that knee gets that gap curve — not a 180° rectangle.
Phenotype → gap curveWho is operating
Board-certified orthopaedic surgeon. Army staff. Associate Professor, Uniformed Services University. Residency at Tripler. Deployment with a forward resuscitative surgical team at Al-Asad. Mechanical engineer, Rose-Hulman.
The through-line is the same in a bunker and in an elective room: decide the sequence before the incision, name the stop-points, and do not improvise what should have been a protocol.
In 2028 the uniform comes off. The standard does not.
