About

David Crawford, MD is one of Ohio’s most prominent figures in adult hip and knee replacement surgery. His clinic is one of the few in Central Ohio that offers arthroscopic hip preservation surgery, a procedure that is most commonly performed to correct an abnormal hip shape and to heal labral tears. He also underwent specialized training in anterior hip replacement and partial knee replacement. His techniques in these procedures allow his patients to have same-day outpatient joint replacement surgery as the recovery time is significantly shorter than if they underwent conventional replacement surgery.

Apart from orthopedic surgery, Dr. Crawford also offers biologic injection treatments such as stem cell and platelet-rich plasma for patients suffering from arthritis seeking non-invasive treatment options. While there are numerous physicians and chiropractors in the area that treat arthritis, he feels that patients should be directed to an orthopedic surgeon so that they can be assessed if they are good candidates for this type of injection.

Dr. Crawford is a Fellow of the Hip Society Rothman-Ranawat Traveling Fellowship, as well as of the John N. Insall Travelling Fellowship. He is a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
