Austin Orthopedic Institute has treated patients in Austin, Georgetown, and Marble Falls since 2004, with providers who have each practiced in the area for more than 15 years. The team includes board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons such as Joel Hurt, MD, who specializes in shoulder and knee repair and reconstruction, alongside physician's assistants and physical therapists.
The practice treats knee, shoulder, hip, hand, wrist and elbow, and spine conditions, along with sports medicine injuries and trauma. Dr. Hurt's surgical focus includes robotic total and partial knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair, complex ligament reconstruction, cartilage transplant surgery, rotator cuff repair, instability surgery, and computer-guided shoulder replacement. He also treats common sports and trauma injuries including distal biceps repairs, wrist and humerus fractures, ankle fractures, and Achilles tendon tears.
Dr. Hurt emphasizes patient education, aiming to help patients understand their injury so they can make informed treatment decisions. The practice uses technology such as the Mako robotic system for knee replacement and 3D CT imaging to plan shoulder replacements before surgery. The clinic accepts a range of insurance plans including UnitedHealthcare, Tricare, Blue Cross, Cigna, Medicare, Aetna, and workers' compensation.
