An interview with Seth S. Leopold, M.D.
Dr. Leopold specializes in knee and hip replacement surgery. He has a particular interest in the use of minimally-invasive joint replacement techniques to decrease post-operative pain, shorten the hospital stay, and help his patients recover more quickly following the surgery. He performs and teaches quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement, a new technique that may help patients return to function within weeks of knee replacement surgery, rather than months.
