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.

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.
