Dr Reeves was great. An amazingly talented and educated surgeon. I'm grateful to have him in the life of my knees.
He alleviated all of my trepidations regarding knee replacement surgery. Very patient oriented and friendly.
Dr. Reeves is the superman of hip surgery! Of course that is not surprising, given who one of his relatives was- George Reeves!
I am very grateful to Dr Reeves for fixing my knees (total knee replacements); I felt fully confident in his surgical ability and thankful for his caring professionalism.
Very thorough, phenomenal bedside manner. Top notch physician

Few joint replacement surgeons were exposed to the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty during their residency and fellowship – which means they’ll need additional training if they want to offer this approach to their patients. Source: ICJR Read More
Although results of this retrospective cohort study revealed more comorbidities in patients 90 years and older who underwent total hip arthroplasty compared with younger patients, nonagenarians had comparable rates of deep vein thrombosis, infection and pulmonary embolism. However, investigators cited the higher readmission rates of the oldest patients as need for closer postoperative follow-up. Source: […]
When a patient receives a new hip, it is usually adjusted only approximately to leg length. Greater accuracy requires a more precise measuring process as well as adjustable implants. Now, a new type of measurement method coupled with a modular implant should allow orthopedic surgeons to precisely calibrate leg length after the operation so it […]
A 66-year-old female who has acetabular protrusio and end-stage osteoarthritis of the right hip undergoes total hip arthroplasty through the ABMSparing approach. According to the authors, this approach avoids the complications of wound healing that can occur with an approach that crosses the hip flexion crease, as well as avoids cutting muscle. Numerous surgical approaches […]
Surgery to replace the arthritic hip and knee joints is on the rise in the U.S., with more than 1.1 million replacement surgeries reported in 2009. While these surgeries improve pain, mobility and quality of life for most recipients, some patients are dogged by persistent muscular problems. Now, a cross-institutional team of researchers has found […]
Implant lasts at least 10 years in 85 percent of patients Hip replacement is often performed in patients with juvenile arthritis when their joints have been severely damaged by the disease. A study at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) finds that the procedure is an excellent option to alleviate pain and improve function in juvenile […]
More than 10-million Americans suffer from knee pain. Drugs and surgery can be a fix, but now, there’s a better option for some patients and doctors are freezing away the pain!

Bariatric surgery prior to joint replacement is a cost-effective option to improve outcomes in severely overweight patients, research demonstrates. It is well-known that obesity takes a toll on one’s health. Bariatric surgery and subsequent weight loss reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and even some forms of cancer. But before now, the effect of […]
Injuries are a potential risk athletic kids face. Concussions may be getting a lot of press lately, but injuries to the knee may be just as important. A new study found that young athletes who needed ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery were likely to re-injure their knees over a 15-year period. Source: DailyRx Read More
With the help of the Hockeyroos UWA researchers have developed a hip and trunk training program that could reduce the high rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in all levels of sport. Females are about five times more likely to suffer an ACL injury and more than half of these come from non-contact sidestepping […]
