About Sam Vojdani

I’m an orthopedic hip & knee surgeon who measures success by what patients can do after surgery.My focus is function-first arthroplasty: clear expectations, evidence-informed protocols, and pragmatic innovation that actually improves people’s lives. In practice, that means kinematic alignment for knees, direct anterior for hips-and a relentless emphasis on systems over heroics.I’m always looking at the “next wave” in our field: open to new tools, grounded by outcomes. I adopt, measure, and iterate - then share what works so teams can run it reliably.Topics I write about:• Return-to-Performance after replacement (yes, even running—context matters)• The “Expectation Curve” and why every recovery is individualized• Protocols that reduce surprises and speed safe recovery• When innovation is worth it (and when it’s not)• How regulation can protect patients without stalling progressIf you’re working on tools or protocols that move the needle on real-world outcomes—or you’re studying post-arthroplasty function-I’d love to compare notes.
