Nationally known for his expertise in treating shoulder and elbow injuries, Jonathan Levy, M.D., chief of orthopedic surgery at the Holy Cross Orthopedic Institute in Fort Lauderdale, has established Holy Cross Hospital as one of the top destinations for shoulder replacement surgery in the country.
Dr. Levy prides himself in utilizing the latest technologies in shoulder surgery, offering patients opportunities to participate in four recent FDA trials as well as access to countless leading techniques and solutions in the field of shoulder and elbow surgery.
“I am committed to cutting-edge research and evidence-based orthopedics as this is what helps me consistently improve patient outcomes,” says Dr. Levy.
As a testimony to his commitment to innovation, Dr. Levy has played a critical role in the design of the latest anatomic and reverse shoulder replacements and has helped design implants for treating fractures of the clavicle, scapula, shoulder and elbow.
