About Dr. Banos

Dr. Andrew J. Banos is a board certified, Harvard fellowship trained Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in Sports Medicine and reconstructive surgery of the shoulder, hip, and knee. He believes in comprehensive care of the whole patient and prefers to begin with non-operative treatment whenever possible. Dr. Banos has an interest in sports injuries and the care of athletes of all ages and types – from the “weekend warrior” to the professional athlete.

Dr. Banos has expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques such as shoulder and knee arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, joint preservation, and ACL reconstruction.  He also specializes in performing shoulder, hip, and knee replacements.  Dr. Banos utilizes the latest technology for total and partial joint replacements including advanced computer navigation, patient specific instrumentation, custom implants, and robotic assisted surgery. He performs both MAKO robotic hip and knee replacements, as well as custom knee replacements. He uses 3D planning software and patient specific instruments for shoulder replacements. Imaging obtained prior to surgery is used to create a computerized 3D model of the joint, which is then used for patient-specific implant placement during surgery.
