Prem N Ramkumar MD MBA is a dual fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon with focused expertise in hip and knee conditions, from Sports Medicine/Arthroscopy to Joint Replacement/Adult Reconstruction. Dr. Ramkumar is proud to serve his hometown counties of Los Angeles and Orange County.
He received his medical education and surgical training at Cleveland Clinic, Harvard/Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Hospital for Special Surgery – the #1 ranked orthopaedic hospital in the country. He was privileged to serve as Assistant Team Physician to the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and MLS' Red Bulls during his time at Hospital for Special Surgery.
It is not common for orthopaedic surgeons to be dual fellowship trained. Dr. Ramkumar specifically chose to pursue two hip and knee fellowships to be a comprehensive, one-stop shop for any patient with a hip or knee condition. His patient-centered and dual-training focus on the hip and knee affords him the ability to expand his medical and surgical "toolbox" to more finely tailor the treatment plan to the patient's specific problem and personal goals.
Dr. Ramkumar has expertise in the following surgical procedures: hip arthroscopy, hip resurfacing, ACL reconstruction, cartilage repair, knee osteotomy, partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, total hip replacement, revision joint replacement, robotic joint replacement, direct anterior hip replacement. To date, he has authored 124 peer-reviewed publications, written 11 textbook chapters, published 10 articles in Forbes (among other circulations), received four institutional grants, lectured nationally and internationally on over 40 occasions, served on the editorial board for the Journal of Arthroplasty, reviewed for every major hip and knee journal (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, American Journal of Sports Medicine, Bone and Joint Journal, Arthroscopy, Journal of Arthroplasty), won national awards for his commitment to research and policy from both the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, and established the world's first laboratory dedicated to evaluating the applications of artificial intelligence in orthopaedic surgery.
