Stephen Raterman, MD, FACS

Stephen Raterman, MD, is one of the most experienced Hip Resurfacing Surgeons in the U.S. He is an innovator in minimally invasive Joint Replacement Surgery of the knee and hip. He performs partial knee resurfacing as well as arthroscopic surgery of the knee, hip and shoulder. He has been past Chief of Surgical Subspecialties at University Community Hospital (UCH) as well as Chief of Staff and Chief of Credentials at UCH. For the past 5 years, he has been an Associate Professor of Orthopaedics at University of South Florida. In 2006, Dr. Raterman was among the first surgeons in this country who have trained in England to perform the remarkable Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) technique. Rather than replacing the entire hip joint, as in a total replacement, hip resurfacing simply shaves and caps a few centimeters of bone within the joint.
