Alfredo Arrojas, M.D. has joined Rothman Orthopaedic Institute—Florida. Coming on the heels of the announcement of a long-term partnership with AdventHealth, this team addition expands the facility’s capacity for total joint reconstruction.

“We are very excited to welcome Dr. Arrojas to the Rothman Orthopaedics family,” said Alexander R. Vaccaro, M.D., Ph.D., MBA, president of Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, Richard H. Rothman Professor and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics, and Professor of Neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals. “His strong passion for providing high level care for his patients in the Orlando market plus his commitment to evidence-based medicine makes him a natural fit for the model we are building in Central Florida.”

“I am a firm believer in Rothman’s core values of quality driven care,” says Dr. Arrojas. “Rothman Orthopaedics will bring a paradigm shift to Central Florida changing the primary focus to quality instead of volume. I truly believe that patients treated within a subspecialized practice, should be treated by those individuals best skilled to take care of each patients individual issues. If our top priority is providing top-notch orthopaedic care to patients, all other aspects of treatment and service will fall in line.”

Dr. Arrojas joins Rothman Orthopaedics after previously serving as an associate for a practice in the Kissimmee and St. Cloud, Florida markets. He attended medical school at Drexel College of Medicine in Philadelphia and completed his residency at Palmetto Health/University of South Carolina-Orthopedic surgery, where he was awarded “Senior Resident of the Year” and “Resident Research of the Year.” He completed a fellowship at The CORE Institute Phoenix, AZ – Joint Reconstruction.

Until Rothman Orthopaedic practice sites open in early 2021, Dr. Arrojas (through Rothman’s partnership with AdventHealth), will treat patients beginning in November 2020 in an AdventHealth Medical Group office in Oviedo, Florida and will operate in AdventHealth Winter Park.

Dr. Arrojas told OTW, “As I move forward into my new role, my first steps will be to assemble a team to provide exceptional care. Providing quality care truly requires a team approach, beginning with preoperative patient optimization and education all the way through the peri/post-operative course. This is best accomplished by collaborating with medical providers across multiple specialties including primary care, anesthesia, nursing, physical therapy, and case management. It is only when we work as a team, that the highest level of patient outcomes and satisfaction can be achieved.”

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?

Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.

We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
