Kenneth A. Krackow MD

Dr. Kenneth's clinical practice consists of hip and knee replacement surgery, both primary and revision or re-do of such cases. As well he does osteotomies of mostly knees, but occasionally hips. Osteotomies are operations that alter the position of the joint surfaces with respect to the bone and do so to “dodge” the bad area and use the smooth, better areas. In addition, he participates in revision or re-do of hip and knee replacements. He also handles other orthopaedists’ complications. His specialty helps diminish patients’ pain, increases mobility, and generally improves the patient’s quality of life.

He is a full-time professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and department head of Orthopaedics at Buffalo General Hospital. He teaches residents, fellows, and medical students. This house staff participates in his surgeries as well as patient visits while in hospital and in an outpatient setting. They assist and perform surgery with supervision.
