Orthopedic surgeon

Dr. Amir Matityahu is an orthopedic surgeon who cares for patients with complex bone fractures. He has special interests in hip joint replacement, pelvis and joint fractures and traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. His goals are to provide the highest quality medical care possible to his patients and to advance the art and science of orthopedic surgery. He values compassion, teamwork, and education for both patients and colleagues.

Matityahu's research interests include the biomechanics of realigning broken bones and how to restore hip joint function after traumatic injury.
