J. Waldman, M.D., is a fellowship trained
orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in joint replacement and reconstruction. He

listing of Dr. Waldman�s credentials include:
Expanding Our Tradition of Excellence in
Orthopedic Care
Barry J. Waldman, M.D., of the Orthopaedic
Specialty Center, has agreed to serve as co-director of the Center for Joint
Preservation and Replacement at Sinai Hospital. A member of the Department of
Orthopaedics at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, he will work closely with
co-director Michael A. Mont, M.D., to develop innovative techniques in the
surgical treatment of arthritis and perioperative care.
Treatment for a Wide Range of Orthopaedic
Conditions
Dr. Waldman specializes in the diagnosis and
treatment of joint pain and arthritic conditions that affect the hip, knee,
shoulder and elbow. Common causes of joint pain include:
Delivering Innovative Solutions
Common treatments include joint replacement and reconstruction using cartilage replacement and joint realignment. While joint
replacement has been one of the most successful types of operations to be
performed by any specialty, Dr. Waldman employs innovative techniques to reduce
rehabilitation time and increase the longevity of the new, artificial
joint.
Dr. Waldman began his orthopaedic training at the
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He developed an interest in perioperative
issues that affect the outcome of joint surgery. He first presented his research
as a junior resident at the national meeting of the Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons and has returned many times with further research results. In
conjunction with Dr. Michael Mont, he worked extensively on the treatment of
infection following joint replacement and published many important studies on
the subject.
After completing his residency, Dr. Waldman
pursued a fellowship in Surgical Arthritis at the prestigious Hospital for
Special Surgery in New York City. There, he specialized in the surgical
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and difficult reconstruction of bone and joint
deformities. He received broad training in the treatment of failed joint
replacement of the hip, knee, shoulder and elbow. He also worked on minimally
invasive hip and knee surgical techniques and reduction of blood clots following
joint surgery.
One of Dr. Waldman�s special areas of interest is
in the longevity of joint replacement implants. He utilizes alternative
materials such as metal-on-metal sockets and titanium bone in-growth implants
intended to reduce the incidence of loosening and increasing the life of the new
joint.
Achieving the Highest Quality of Life with
the Least Risk
Dr. Waldman believes in employing a wide
variety of conservative measures before recommending joint surgery. He often
employs exercise, weight reduction, medications and injections before
considering a surgical option. Candidates for surgery receive extensive education concerning
the risks of surgery and the expected postoperative rehabilitation and recovery
time.
For more than 75 years, the Orthopaedic Speciality
Center has been providing unparalleled care in all areas of orthopaedics. From
diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation and recovery, the Orthopaedic
Speciality Center provides comprehensive care to restore health and
wellbeing.
