An orthopedic surgeon close to Prosper

Prosper has grown quickly, and so has its number of runners, golfers, pickleball players and youth athletes. Dr. Dold regularly treats Prosper patients, from high school and club athletes to adults who want to stay active, and older patients with arthritis who want to get back to walking without pain.

He is fellowship-trained in sports medicine at NYU Langone and holds FAOA, FAAOS, FACS and FRCSC credentials. He has cared for athletes from the NFL, NBA, NHL, PGA Tour and USA Gymnastics, and he gives every patient the same plan: an accurate diagnosis first, non-surgical treatment when it is likely to work, and surgery only when it offers a clear benefit.

Surgery when you need it

When surgery is the right choice, Dr. Dold performs it at surgery centers and hospitals in Frisco and the surrounding area, and many procedures are done as same-day outpatient surgery.

Young athletes in Prosper

Many of the Prosper patients Dr. Dold sees are high school and club athletes. Two points from the research guide how he cares for them:

  • Prevention works. Neuromuscular warm-up and training programs lower the risk of ACL injury, according to a large review of prevention studies.1 Ask about these for your athlete’s team.
  • Return to sport should be based on testing, not just time. In one cohort study, athletes who met strength and function criteria before returning had a much lower re-injury rate after ACL reconstruction.2 Young age and returning to high-risk sports are linked to a higher chance of a second ACL injury.3

Active adults and joint replacement

For adults with advanced hip arthritis, Dr. Dold performs anterior hip replacement. In a randomized trial, patients after the anterior approach stopped using walking aids sooner than after a posterior approach.4 A meta-analysis found that outpatient hip replacement did not increase complications or readmissions in suitable patients.5 Registry data suggest that most hip and knee replacements last 15 to 25 years.6,7 Results vary from person to person, and Dr. Dold will review whether you are a good candidate.
