Pediatric Orthopaedic Specialist
Dr. Gourineni completed orthopaedic residencies in India and at Northwestern University in Chicago and a fellowship at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. Dr. Gourineni developed a deep interest in hip preservation and underwent informal training with several experts including a short visiting fellowship with Professor Reinhold Ganz in Bern, Switzerland and Marc Phillippon in Vail, Colorado. Dr. Gourineni acquired a lot of experience with open surgical dislocation and hip osteotomies before performing several of these procedures using arthroscopic techniques.
Pediatric & Young Adult Orthopaedics
Our group focuses on orthopaedic problems of children and young adults. We have the most experience in open and arthroscopic hip preservation procedures, and also specialize in sports medicine, trauma, and scoliosis along with general pediatric orthopaedics. Dr. Gourineni has also developed a variation of the Ponseti method for Pediatric Clubfoot that avoids Achilles tenotomy.
