Dr. Althaus is a fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon who has returned to Sioux City to begin practice. He completed a fellowship with the Insall Scott Kelly Institute for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City where he learned state of the art techniques for the management of injuries and arthritic conditions involving the hip, knee, and shoulder. He has experience with all of the common approaches to the hip including the direct anterior, lateral, and posterior. At ISK, he worked with some of the best knee surgeons in the country and was exposed to the philosophy and legacy of Dr. John Insall, who is regarded as the father of knee replacement surgery. During fellowship, he received additional training in shoulder reconstruction, rotator cuff, and labral surgery as well as hip arthroscopy for the treatment of labral tears and hip impingement. While in residency at the University of Kansas Hospital, Dr. Althaus was able to acquire a broad knowledge of the surgical and non-surgical management of many orthopedic conditions. This is demonstrated by his performance on standardized exams during training including scoring in the 99th percentile on the Orthopedic In-Training Exam and the 96th percentile on the written portion of the orthopedic board exam. Dr. Althaus and his wife are both natives of Sioux City and are excited to be back. They are busy with two young boys and enjoy spending time with family and friends. They hope to be able to find time to do some golfing in the summer.

A Great Experience from Beginning to End

I now have had two complete knee replacements done by Dr. Althaus and I am so pleased with the outcome of both. Wonderful, caring and fun office. Just a great experience all around and I am SO glad to be free of pain!

A very very good experience!

Dr. Althaus provided excellent care before and after my surgery, I feel he and his staff did an awesome job. My surgery went great and I healed up very fast with great results! I would do it again in a heartbeat, and I tell everyone about it!

Hip Scope Labral Tear

Dr Althaus was great in diagnosing and recommending treatment for my torn labrum in my hip. Started conservative, seeing if we could get results with PT. Listened to my goals for what activities I would ideally like to get back to and which I was willing to give up if necessary. When PT wasn't getting the results, he recommended surgery. He clearly explained what to expect and post-surgery went exactly as intended. Nearly six months out now and back to an active lifestyle. Have full confidence in Dr Althaus' diagnostics, recommendations, and surgical abilities.

anterior hip replacement

My hip surgery went as smooth as possible. Recovery time was very fast and almost pain free. I would (and have) recomend Dr. Althaus and the anterior hip replacement.

Althaus saved my life

Dr. Althaus is one of the best and you don't want to go anywhere else! Only with his compassion, vigilance, knowledge, and encouragement was I able to go from surviving to thriving after a major knee surgery at a young age. He was thorough and careful. He monitored my progress closely through recovery. Dr. Althaus' viligiance and wisdom physically saved my life, but his compassion and encouragement mentally saved my life too!

Total Hip Replacement

Very happy that my primary doctor made the referral to Dr. Althaus. He did a total hip replacement. He is an exceptional surgeon, takes time to explain and answer any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Althaus and his nurse Deanna is the best nurse in the world. She answers any questions you may have and makes you feel comfortable.

broken ankle

I live in MN and was visiting when I broke my ankle. Dr Althaus looked at my xray and said "you broke it good!" Being from out of town, I was very nervous but Dr Althaus and his staff but my fears at ease. Surgery was wonderful, out of the hospital that day!
If you ever need a foot/ankle doctor/surgeon, I highly recommend this clinic.
