Lawrence D. Dorr, MD
Medical Director
Total Joint Reconstruction
Dorr Arthritis Institute
Good Samaritan Hospital
Los Angeles, CA
As founder and medical director of the Dorr Arthritis Institute, Dr. Dorr has performed more than 3,500 hip and knee replacements in the past decade. Dr. Dorr has been the President of the Hip Society and the Knee Society; he is also a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. He was a founder of both the Knee Society and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.
He began designing implants for the benefits of patients in 1982. The APR stem was first marketed in 1984 and remains in use today with the shape and fixation surface unchanged since the early 1990s. The Apollo knee replacement was marketed in the early 1990s.
Dr. Dorr was one of the first surgeons to use hydroxyapatite as a fixation surface on hip implants in 1983 and has published several articles on this fixation surface. He reintroduced metal-on-metal into the United States in 1991. He implanted these as custom implants and with an FDA study until 1996.
The posterior minimally invasive surgery operation, designed by Dr. Dorr, has been the most studied and most successful minimally invasive surgery total hip replacement.
Dr. Dorr is the leading clinical researcher for computer navigation for total hip replacement. His data has proved the accuracy of using navigation for implanting the acetabular and femoral components and restoring correct leg length and offset for the hip.Shepard R. Hurwitz, MD
