Areas of Specialization
Dr. David Eldringhoff is a leader in sports medicine, hip, knee, and shoulder surgery, and the care of the injured athlete. He has extensive and specialized training in orthopedic surgery, joint replacements, fracture care, sports medicine, and hip arthroscopy. His emphasis is on arthroscopic and open surgery of the hip, shoulder, elbow, and knee.
Education
He attended Kansas State University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in 2008 with a major in chemistry and minors in physics and microbiology. He received his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 2012. Dr. Eldringhoff completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at Saint Louis University Hospital in Missouri.
Current Clinical Appointments
Dr. Eldringhoff is a fellow at Congress Orthopaedic Associates in Pasadena, California where he focused on the treatment of injuries to the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow, with a special emphasis on minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment. During his fellowship, he provided sports-related care for Occidental College, Pasadena City College, and several local high school football teams. He has a unique interest in arthroscopic treatment of hip pathology that may one day be shown to prevent or delay the onset of hip arthritis in adolescent, young adult, and adult hips. He addresses hip impingement and labral tears with arthroscopic labral repair, using bioabsorbable bone anchors similar to those used in shoulder surgery. He also removes the bony abnormalities associated with this condition entirely through the arthroscope. He also performs total joint replacement for patients with advanced hip, shoulder, and knee arthritis that cannot be treated with arthroscopy.
