Back in the Saddle

When severe pain from osteoarthritis threatened to put an end to former Green Beret Scott Ellinger's athletic passions, he turned to UC San Diego Health for help. Krishna R. Cidambi, MD, performed a bilateral hip replacement using advanced surgical techniques. After only 39 days, Ellinger was pain-free and back on his road bike.

Congratulations to our colleagues on their recent appointments, accomplishments, awards and honors:

We are very happy to announce that Dr. Covey was recently announced as the recipient of the AAOS 2019 William W. Tipton, Jr., M.D. Leadership Award.  This is an amazing accomplishment.  It is the highest leadership award from the AAOS and recognizes Academy members who have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities which have benefitted the orthopaedic community, patients, and the American public.
