While in Memphis, he was fortunate to build a practice focused on outpatient primary hip and knee replacement along with complex revision total joint surgery. To this day, Dr. Ford remains focused on joint replacement techniques that allow younger patients to recover faster and remain highly active following hip or knee replacement. He performs a ligament-sparing kinematic knee replacement (KA) technique that is customized to each patient and avoids ligament releases, helping to speed recovery and promote long-term satisfaction, pain relief, function and motion when compared to traditional knee replacement.Dr. Ford also uses a minimally invasive, tissue-sparing total hip replacement approach that allows appropriate patients to go home the same day as surgery and a bone-sparing hip resurfacing procedure that promotes return to competitive sports for active individuals. In addition to innovative surgical techniques, he utilizes rapid recoveryprotocols that often allow patients to safely go home within hours of surgery.Dr. Ford continues to be involved in clinical research focused on improved recovery and safety in total joint replacement. He is the principal investigator for numerous research projects and has been awarded several research grants, including a FARE grant from the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS).
