Specialties
Omar Akhtar MD is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with specialty training in joint replacement surgery. He treats all orthopedic conditions– joint and muscle pain, sprains, fractures, ligament and tendon tears– and has performed thousands of operations. His expertise is in joint replacement of the hip, knee, and shoulder. He performs partial and total knee replacements; partial and total hip replacement; partial, total, and reverse shoulder replacements. He performs the anterior hip approach which may lead to shorter recovery times in selected patients. In some patients, he opts to use computer navigated assistance which may lead to improved implant positioning.
Dr. Akhtar has extensive experience evaluating and treating painful, infected, or failed joint replacements.
Not everyone needs or will benefit from surgical treatment. Dr. Akhtar starts with non-surgical treatments and, in many cases, an operation can be avoided.
