Orthopaedic Hip & Knee Replacement Surgeon I Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement

K. David Moore, MD, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama. He specializes in total hip replacement, total and partial knee replacement, and complex joint reconstruction.

Dr. Moore was the first surgeon in Birmingham to use Stryker’s Mako System for robotic-assisted joint replacement.

He has performed more robotic-assisted surgeries than any other surgeon in Alabama and trains surgeons across the country in robotic-assisted techniques. He uses this technology to plan and personalize procedures for each patient.

Leadership in Hip & Knee Replacement

Before joining Andrews Sports Medicine in 2016, Dr. Moore served as Director of the Center for Joint Replacement at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Earlier in his career, he was Chief of Adult Reconstruction for the United States Air Force at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Dr. Moore treats patients with hip and knee arthritis and has extensive experience in minimally invasive joint replacement, revision surgery and complex hip and knee conditions. His clinical interests include the Direct Superior approach to total hip replacement, early intervention for arthritis and image-assisted surgery.

Research, Training & Education

Dr. Moore is an investigator in a national study examining the long-term results of robotic-assisted total knee replacement. His research has also explored custom implants for complex revision hip replacement, hip replacement after acetabular fractures, and ways to improve wound healing and recovery. He has published numerous articles on hip and knee replacement and regularly lectures to surgeons in the United States and internationally.

He is a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Society. He also serves as a reviewer for leading orthopaedic journals.

Dr. Moore earned his undergraduate degree in molecular biology and his medical degree from Vanderbilt University, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Missouri and an adult reconstruction fellowship at The Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic with Drs. Charles and Gerard Engh.

Dr. Moore and his wife are now empty nesters after raising four sons. Soccer has long been a family passion, and Dr. Moore still enjoys getting out on the field himself. He is also active in his church.
