Biography

Professional Background

Dr. Ricciardi is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee replacement. His interests include all aspects of hip replacement surgery including both minimally invasive anterior approach, hip resurfacing, and complex revisions after failure. He also performs computer-assisted total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and revision knee replacement after failure. In addition to his clinical duties, he is actively involved in research and national leadership in joint replacement. He has published over 50 peer reviewed publications and presented over 60 papers at national and international meetings. Additionally, he serves on the editorial board of major journals in orthopedics.

He received his medical degree at Weill Cornell Medical College, where he received a number of awards and graduated as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Ricciardi's training in orthopedic surgery and fellowship training in joint replacement surgery were completed at the Hospital for Special Surgery and New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. He received an additional one year of fellowship training in hip and knee replacement where he gained further experience in both complex revision (after joint replacement failure) and minimally invasive primary joint replacement including direct anterior hip replacement and computer-assisted surgery. After his fellowship, he was awarded the prestigious European Fellowship in Hip Reconstruction from the ME Muller Foundation to study both hip preservation and joint replacement from European leaders in the field.

Research

Dr. Ricciardi is actively involved as a clinician-scientist. His current research focuses on the impact of governmental policies on patient outcomes after total hip and total knee replacement. Additionally, he has a research interest in improving the diagnosis and treatment options for patients with prosthetic joint infection. His research background has included studies in multiple clinical and translational research topics concerning both joint replacement and joint preservation surgery. Dr. Ricciardi has spent a number of years working in the Mineralized Tissue Laboratory at the Hospital for Special Surgery where he investigated both the biology of fracture healing and implant osseointegration. Additionally, he was a part of a group investigating the cellular and molecular processes of hip replacement failure due to adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) secondary to metal corrosion. Lastly, he has experience working within clinical registries to investigate the outcomes after joint preservation surgery such as periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia.
