Dr. Mark G. Siegel is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He specializes in reconstructive surgery of the knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle. He has advanced training and twenty-seven years of experience in the field of sports medicine as well as all areas of orthopaedic surgery. Dr. Siegel graduated summa cum laude from the six-year honors, medical program at Boston University School of Medicine and completed his orthopaedic residency at the prestigious Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City in 1981. He served as chief resident in Orthopaedics and elected to participate in an additional year of sports medicine training at Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center. After completing this sports medicine fellowship, he joined Cincinnati SportsMedicine in 1982, becoming the Center’s first partner.
Dr. Siegel is involved with Cincinnati SportsMedicine’s fellowship and research programs. He has been a guest speaker and instructor at national meetings and lectured on knee and shoulder reconstruction. He has published articles in orthopaedic journals in the area of patellofemoral arthritis and reconstruction of the knee. Additional responsibilities include his position as Medical Director at Genex Medical Services in Cincinnati. He is also a peer medical reviewer of care for Sheakley Unicomp Services and Comprehensive Managed Care Services.
Dr. Siegel has a particular interest and active research involvement in the repair of knees with cruciate deficiency. He has performed this repair for unstable knees in young persons without complications. The results of his technique have been published in The American Journal of Knee Surgery, which has helped to encourage the use of this procedure for the treatment of knee instability in the young athlete.
Reconstructive surgery is a complex and evolving science. Dr. Siegel stays abreast of the newest techniques to ensure that his patients receive the benefits of the latest technology and medical expertise.
Staying involved in the advancement of orthopaedics, he is on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Arthroscopy and is an expert peer reviewer for the American Journal of Sports Medicine. He also had been a guest editor and reviewer for patient instruction handbooks on ligament repair, ligament rehabilitation, osteoporosis and knee surgery. He has been Chairman of Orthopaedics at Deaconess Hospital, a member of the Orthopaedic Executive Committee at Christ Hospital and a member of the Executive Medical Board Committee at Jewish Hospital.
Dr. Siegel has a specific interest in the techniques of arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery involving the knee, shoulder, ankle and elbow joints. He is skilled in the treatment of knee arthritis using both laser, thermal and mechanical fracture techniques. He is also certified in the area of cartilage transplant procedures.
Millions of people are affected by osteoarthritis. Dr. Siegel works to help people with this condition maintain an active lifestyle. Treatment may include rehabilitation, bracing, mineral supplements or medications for inflammation. When non-invasive techniques fail, the next approach may be arthroscopic debridement, ligament stabilization, cartilage repair and arthroplasty. Alternative treatment might include injections of viscous fluid into the knee to help provide nutrition and lubricate the joint. This may delay the need for a joint replacement.
Dr. Siegel is trained and certified in the use of computer-assisted technology to obtain the best possible alignment and result in knee replacement surgery. When implanting the prosthesis, this may involve the use of a new state of the art rotating platform high flexion total knee. An alternative may be a minimally invasive knee replacement. When indicated, this operation results in a smaller incision and faster recovery. It involves replacing only the part of the knee that is diseased through a partial unicondylar knee replacement or a patella replacement.
Dr. Siegel has a wide variety of patients referred to him. This includes athletes ranging from the Olympic, professional, collegiate and high school levels to the active professional or retired individual who would like to stay active. He believes that all of his patients whether athlete or nonathlete deserve the highest level of care and can expect commitment and compassion from their physician. His practice involves giving each patient individualized personal attention so that the physician and patient are working together as a team in determining which treatment is best to ensure the highest level of orthopaedic care.
A former competitive road-racing cyclist in Boston, Dr. Siegel remains an active participant in this sport. He continues to ride and may be seen climbing the hills of Cincinnati. He enjoys talking with all types of athletes and treating injuries and problems unique to their sport.
