Dr. Navid M. Ziran

Dr. Ziran was trained by the innovator of anterior approach total hip replacement,and is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon.

He did two fellowships in:

1) Orthopaedic traumatology – this specialty involves fixing the critically-injured patient (i.e. high-speed car accidents, etc.) with multiple injuries and/or complex fractures of the arm, legs, pelvic bone, and hip joint (acetabulum)

2) Pelvic/acetabular reconstruction (fixing complex fractures of the pelvic bone and/or hip joint), anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (replacing hip joints via the anterior approach), and periacetabular osteotomy (re-orienting the acetabulum in patients with dysplasia).

He has contributed to a number of publications on anterior approach total hip replacement. He is currently doing clinical research on both anterior approach total hip replacement and periacetabular osteotomy outcomes.
