Dr. David H. So is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in joint replacement for the treatment of knee and hip arthritis, with an emphasis on patient-centered care.
He received advanced training in joint replacement techniques, including minimally invasive, anterior-approach hip replacement, computer-assisted hip and knee arthroplasty, partial knee replacement, as well the use of medial pivot and custom knee implants. He also has extensive experience treating patients with failed or infected hip and knee replacements.
So earned his medical degree at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Mich. He completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at Henry Ford Hospital, also in Detroit, followed by a fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
His research interests include: studying the effects of computer-assisted joint replacement surgery on patient outcomes; improving post-operative pain control using pre-operative cryoneurolysis; periprosthetic joint infections and risk factors associated with the failure of two-stage reimplantation procedures, and patient outcomes after total knee replacement using kinematic alignment with a medial-pivot implant.
