Javad Parvizi (born 1965) is an American board-certified orthopedic surgeon with experience in joint reconstruction.[1]

According to his official website, he reports having performed over 10,000 joint replacements and more than 2,000 joint preservation procedures during his time associated with the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.[2]

He completed his medical degree in the United Kingdom, undertook residency training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and completed fellowship training in Bern, Switzerland.[3]

He holds honorary memberships in multiple international orthopaedic societies and has authored more than 1,000 peer-reviewed publications; his citation impact is substantial (H-index reported on Google Scholar).[4][5]

Parvizi has served in leadership roles within specialty societies, including as president of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and as president of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS).[6][7]

He served as president of the Eastern Orthopaedic Association in 2018.[8]

Parvizi is currently professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Acibadem University in Istanbul[9] and performs surgery at the International Joint Center.[10]

Early life and education

Parvizi was born in Zanjan, Azerbaijan, Iran in 1965.[11] He lived there until the age of 16.[12]

He trained in the United Kingdom, the United States and Switzerland. He earned his medical degree from the University of Sheffield, UK in 1991 and then underwent specialist surgical training in Newcastle, UK. In 1995, he moved to Rochester, US, to the Mayo Clinic as a research fellow and graduate student. In 1997 he obtained a Master of Science in Orthopaedics from the Mayo Foundation at the Mayo Clinic.[13] He then started a residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic. After finishing the residency in 2002, he was awarded the Hip Society-Muller Foundation Fellowship in Adult Reconstruction to spend additional surgical training at the Insalspital Hospital at the University of Berne, Switzerland. In Berne, he worked with Dr. Maurice Edmond Müller and Professor Reinhold Ganz to learn joint preservation surgical management of the hip. After his training in Bern, he joined the Rothman Institute in 2003, where he has remained to date.[14]

Research and career

The most important area of Parvizi's research is infections following joint replacement and on the bacterial free-floating biofilms that form in human joint infections.[15][16] He also did research on low-dose aspirin, finding it to be effective as higher-dose aspirin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism, and to be associated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects.[17]

Parvizi is a joint replacement surgeon at the International Joint Center, Acibadem Maslak Hospital,[18] Istanbul. He also serves at the Acibadem University as a professor of orthopedics and trauma.[19]
