Dr. Christopher Peters
I am an adult reconstructive orthopaedic specialist and surgeon at the University of Utah. I am a Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and practice at the University Orthopaedic Center. I completed my medical education at the University of Southern California and residency at the University of Utah. I completed a fellowship at Rush Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago in total joint replacement. I perform routine and complex joint replacements of the hip and knee and bioregenerative hip preserving operations. One of my specialties is the treatment of hip pain in young adults from acetabular dysplasia and/or femoro-acetabular impingement, with pelvic osteotomy or surgical dislocation and osteochondroplasty. My research interests include patient specific three-dimensional modeling of the hip, the restoration of deficient bone stock in failed joint replacements, bio-mechanics of total knee and hip components, the treatment of hip pain in the young adult, and development of hip and knee implants. I am a consultant reviewer for top orthopedic journals and a diplomat of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
