Biography
Dr. Andrew Ehmke is a fellowship-trained joint replacement surgeon specializing in minimally invasive hip and knee replacement. He completed his fellowship at the world-renowned Rubin Institute of Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore, Maryland.
Dr. Ehmke utilizes the latest techniques in minimally invasive surgery including robotic-assisted joint replacement, anterior approach hip replacement, partial knee replacement and outpatient same-day surgery. These advanced techniques give his patients a joint replacement that feels more natural with a shorter recovery and less pain.
In addition, Dr. Ehmke has specialized training in evaluating and treating previous joint replacements that are painful. Dr. Ehmke also performs complicated initial joint replacement cases, such as patients with prior fractures of their hip or knee, or born with unique anatomy.
Dr. Ehmke utilizes the latest in cutting-edge non-surgical therapies for patients who are not ready for joint replacement or patients who would like to try alternative treatments. This includes regenerative stem cell injections, non-invasive cold laser therapy and non-narcotic-based pain medications, including CBD.
Dr. Ehmke has published research, presented at national meetings, and instructed national courses to teach residents about hip and knee replacement techniques.
Once I get to know a patient and understand their goals, we work together to create a treatment plan that best suits their lifestyle."
