Summary

  • Dr. Rubin is a board-certified, fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon. His surgical practice is entirely focused on the care of Hip and Knee Disorders, including joint preservation techniques, partial and total joint replacements, revisions, and peri-prosthetic fractures, failures, and infections. In 2016, Dr. Rubin successfully authored, edited, and published the World's First Comprehensive Text on Anterior Hip Surgery, entitled "The Direct Anterior Approach To Hip Reconstruction," which is now the definitive reference for surgeons around the world who are learning and performing hip surgery using the minimally invasive direct anterior approach technique. Dr. Rubin is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (AAOS), a Fellow of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) an active member of the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS), and is a Five-Time Faculty Member of the International Congress for Joint Reconstruction (ICJR).

    In late 2016, Dr. Rubin joined the Clinical Faculty of Yale University's Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, where he will serve as both the Co-Chief of the Adult Reconstruction Division and the Chief of the Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH) Center for Musculoskeletal Care (CMC) Total Joint Replacement Program. In these roles, he will work to educate medical students, residents, and fellows, help to coordinate the clinical care program for patients undergoing total joint surgery at YNHH, provide quality improvement and outcomes assessment, and actively streamline the rehabilitation process for patients and their families.
