2025 was a great year for Dr Wind and his team at OrthoVirginia. Here is a quick summary:
-Dr Wind performed over 600 outpatient total joint procedures utilizing minimally invasive surgical technique and offering patients the opportunity to recover at home rather than in the hospital
-Dr Wind performed nearly 1000 total joint procedures overall making him one of the highest volume joint replacement surgeons in the country
-Patients continue to benefit from minimally invasive surgical techniques such as muscle-sparing anterior total hip replacement and the SubV (subvastus) knee replacement
-Our anesthesia colleagues continue to make strides in postoperative pain control through the use of targeted anesthetic blocks given to total joint patients preoperatively allowing reduced pain and rapid mobilization after surgery
Dr Wind appreciates the trust that so many patients throughout Virginia and the mid-Atlantic place in him to help overcome the pain of hip and knee arthritis. In 2026 he plans to launch a major new initiative to educate patients about hip and knee surgery and also to allow his patients to tell their own stories for the benefit of others. The name of this initiative is “Reclaim Your Stride”. It will be a YouTube and social media channel to start but will eventually transition into a podcast format as well. The goal is to demystify the process of hip and knee replacement surgery and allow those who are struggling with hip and knee pain to have questions answered not only by Dr Wind but also by patients who have been through surgery and can offer firsthand experience. Be on the lookout for “Reclaim Your Stride” in 2026!
