 JASON E. REISS, D.O.
Orthopaedic Surgeon
Dr. Jason Reiss graduated from the University of Florida, and attended medical school at Nova Southeastern University, where he graduated in the top ten percent of his
class. He spent a year of general surgery training at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, then went on to a residency in orthopedic surgery at the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he was named chief resident in his last year. Dr. Reiss completed an additional fellowship specializing in total
joint reconstruction at Pennsylvania Hospital, part of the University of Pennsylvania. Recently, Dr. Reiss was selected as one of three orthopedic surgeons to present
his research at the annual Joint Arthroplasty Young Investigators Conference, sponsored by Duke University Medical Center.
Dr. Reiss is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American Osteopathic Association, and the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics. Dr.
Reiss devotes much of his practice to joint reconstruction, and is especially skilled in hip, knee and shoulder reconstruction and arthroscopy.
Dr. Reiss is one of only three surgeons in SW FL to utilize the advanced "anterior" approach for total hip arthroscopy. Most surgeons practice the "posterior"
approach, where the hip joint is accessed through a dissection in the back. While this method is largely successful, there are some innate problems to this approach.
It can lead to improperly positioned components, ultimately leading to a higher dislocation rate. It is also difficult to gage the patient's leg length while in this
position, and can lead to significant differences in leg length post operatively, the number one complication for total hip replacement surgery. To combat these issues,
highly trained surgeons have decided to enter the hip through the front, or anterior, portion of the joint. The anterior approach that Dr. Reiss utilizes allows the
patient to be positioned on their back, allowing leg length to be easily measured. There is no muscle detachment from the bone, unlike with the posterior approach, so
there is much less tissue healing required. Additionally, because the patient is lying on their back in the anterior approach, placement of the components is more
precise, thereby reducing the incidence of hip dislocation. Other potential advantages of the anterior approach include shorter hospital stay, smaller incision,
faster recovery, reduced blood loss, and more rapid return to normal activity. Dr. Reiss was trained in both methods, and has chosen the anterior approach as his
preferred method.
