Biography

Joseph Assini, MD, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon highly experienced in hip replacement, knee replacement, complex joint reconstruction and general orthopedic trauma. As the medical director of the advanced joint reconstruction program at Swedish Medical Center, Dr. Assini is dedicated to getting patients back to the activities they enjoy quickly and successfully. Committed to Rapid Recovery One of Dr. Assini’s main focuses is on rapid recovery total joint replacement, which strives to get patients back to full function as quickly as possible. Through this, most Dr. Assini's patients will leave the hospital the same day as their surgery. “I was up and walking in the early hours after surgery and home after about seven hours... My recovery was fast and relatively painless.” – Patient D.S. Innovating Minimally Invasive Techniques Committed to innovation and excellence, Dr. Assini is active in research and is currently participating in multiple clinical studies evaluating implant designs and new techniques to improve patient care. Dr. Assini is on the design team of a new hip implant, which has been specifically designed to allow surgeons to perform more minimally invasive surgery. He also is a developer of the AnteriorPATH technique for total hip arthroplasty, which is a novel procedure to enhance the recovery of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. At present, he is the highest volume user of this procedure in the Western United States. Dr. Assini continues to research ways to advance treatment and improve outcomes. He most recently studied the effects of metal-on-metal total hip implants, examining the reasons for failure and ways to manage patients with failed implants. This study is among several of Dr. Assini’s research endeavors that have been selected for presentation at national and international meetings. “My total knee replacement has given me my active lifestyle back. At 4 weeks post-surgery I was snowshoeing, at 7 weeks I was cross country skiing, at 8 weeks I was downhill skiing on greens, at 12 weeks I was hiking and walking up to 5 miles.” – Patient A.G. Specialized Education and Expertise Dr. Assini has been in practice for more than 15 years. He received an undergraduate degree from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and his medical degree with honors from the University of Sydney in Australia. He completed residency training in his hometown of London, Ontario, Canada in the division of orthopedic surgery at Western University. He furthered his training with a clinical fellowship in adult reconstruction and joint replacement at Weill-Cornell Medical College and the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. There, he learned from leaders in the field and was exposed to highly complex cases and state-of-the-art treatments. Dr. Assini is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Canada), Canadian Orthopedic Association and the Canadian Medical Association. Dr. Assini also serves as a consultant for Microport Orthopedics.
