A native of Canada, Dr. Greenhow completed his Honors Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees at Queen’s University in Ontario. He then pursued Orthopedic Surgery in Vancouver, completing the prestigious five-year program and serving as Chief Orthopedic Resident in his final year. Following this, Dr. Greenhow was selected to complete a one-year Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Fellowship at the
internationally renowned Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic in London,
Ontario. This clinical fellowship was under the direction of Dr. Peter
Fowler, former President of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports
Medicine. At the completion of this fellowship, Dr. Greenhow earned his
Diploma in Sports Medicine (CASM) specializing in Joint Replacement as
well as Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy.
Dr. Greenhow is double board-certified through both the American Board
of Orthopedic Surgery and the Canadian Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons
Dr. Greenhow's specialty training in arthroscopy and minimally invasive techniques lead him to pursue extensive additional training in minimally invasive joint replacement of the hip and knee, in combination with computer navigation, robotic, and patient-specific technologies. Together with Dr. Loucks, he was one of the first three surgeons in Colorado to perform the minimally invasive, muscle-sparing (MIS)
Anterior hip replacement procedure. Dr. Greenhow is one of 4 surgeons in
the US involved in an ongoing prospective gait analysis study, comparing
Anterior hip replacement with the more traditional posterior approach.
Dr. Greenhow is also one of the designing surgeons for a new femoral
stem implant used in hip replacement surgery, a new patient-specific
knee replacement technique (Medacta MyKnee ®) using CT scan technology
and 3D printing, and a total knee replacement system which allows for
improved knee kinematics and improved stability (Medacta GMK Sphere ®),
all of which are being implanted around the globe.
Dr. Greenhow is currently a consultant for an international orthopedic
implant company based in Switzerland (Medacta, Inc.). He serves on the
Educational Advisory Board for Anterior Approach Hip Replacement and
acts as an Instructor in the US and internationally. Dr. Greenhow serves
as a proctor and instructor for a national and international training
center, based in Denver, with regularly scheduled lectures and cadaveric
labs. Dr. Greenhow also proctors surgeons from across the continent in
their own hospitals, helping to teach the Anterior Approach technique
for hip replacement and Patient-Specific technology for total knee
replacement.
