“Joint replacement is a major event for a person that can dramatically improve their quality of life. While people tend to focus on the surgery, a person’s satisfaction with their joint replacement stems from the caring environment expressed by the physician’s office, hospital, and rehabilitation staff. At Anderson Clinic it is not just about the surgery.”

Dr. Andy Engh represents the third generation of his family to practice at The Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic, which was founded by his grandfather in 1938. Dr. Engh specializes in hip and knee joint replacement, including complex revision surgery. He sees patients in our Arlington and Alexandria offices. He performs surgery at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital and Harborside Surgery Center.

Dr. Engh is a member of The Hip Society, The Knee Society, and The International Hip Society. He is a consultant reviewer for the Journal of Arthroplasty and the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American edition), a Board of Orthopaedic Specialties Education Committee member, and a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons as well as a previous board member there. Dr. Andy is committed to furthering the knowledge and techniques of hip and knee replacement. He has received multiple awards, including the John Charnley Award, three Lawrence D. Dorr Awards, the AAHKS Clinical Award, the James A. Rand Award, and the OREF CCJR Award. He has published over 90 articles. He speaks nationally and internationally on topics regarding hip and knee replacement with a focus on patient outcomes and analysis of implant function.

Dr. Engh has remained current in the rapidly changing healthcare environment. According to Dr. Engh, “hip and knee replacements are two of the most successful operations in the history of medicine. I am constantly looking for ways to improve these procedures for the benefit of my patients.”

Dr. Engh maintains an interest in sports. He likes to sail, bike ride, play tennis, and especially kiteboarding. His wife is a lawyer in Washington, DC; they have two adult children and one grandchild.
