Welcome to Our New Website!
Thanks for visiting—and welcome to the blog.
I’m Dr. Hayden Baker, a sports medicine and hip preservation surgeon. Whether you're a patient, a physical therapist, a fellow surgeon, or just someone curious about orthopedics, I created this blog as a space to share insights, answer common questions, and provide a deeper look into what I do and why I do it.
Orthopedic care doesn’t stop at the clinic door or the operating room. It’s a journey that includes education, shared decision-making, and thoughtful recovery—and my goal here is to bring transparency and clarity to every step of that process.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is a mix of clinical insight and practical guidance, designed to be both informative and accessible. Topics will range from:
Patient Education: Plain-language breakdowns of common injuries, surgeries, and recovery timelines
Behind the Surgery: A look at how surgical decisions are made, and what actually happens in the OR
Rehabilitation Tips: How to navigate the physical therapy process and optimize recovery
Emerging Research: My thoughts on the latest evidence, surgical techniques, and biologic therapies
Practice Updates: Occasional personal reflections and updates on what’s happening in clinic and beyond
Why It Matters
There’s a lot of information out there—some good, some not so good. My hope is to create a trusted, no-nonsense source where patients can feel empowered, and where providers can find value in thoughtful discussion. Whether you’re deciding between surgery and rehab, recovering from an injury, or trying to understand a research trend, I want this space to help guide you through it.
Let’s Get Started
If you have a topic you’d like me to cover, feel free to reach out. Otherwise, check back regularly for new posts—or sign up for updates if that’s something you’d find helpful.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to sharing more soon.
