NAVID ZIRAN, M.D., FACS, FAAOS
ORTHOPAEDIC TRAUMA SURGEON
ABOUT DR. ZIRAN
Dr. Navid Ziran is a board-certified orthopaedic trauma surgeon who specializes in complex fracture surgery (broken bones of the arms and legs), pelvic/acetabular trauma (fractures of the pelvis and hip joint), and anterior approach (AA) total hip replacement. He was trained by and works with Dr. Joel M. Matta, one of the world's foremost pelvic and acetabular surgeons and the innovator of AA total hip replacement.
He has written numerous book chapters with Dr. Matta (see RESEARCH section) on both AA total hip replacements and pelvic/acetabular trauma. For a full list of publications, please click HERE. Dr. Ziran was voted a Super Doctor in Los Angeles Magazine for 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Dr. Ziran educates and empowers the patient so they can make their own informed decision about their care. In some cases, surgery is not always what is best for the patient; and, in difficult situations, informed patients and families usually make the best choice. Lastly, he also believes in the added value of Eastern medicine when combined with Western technology.

RESEARCH
Recent research published and ongoing:
1) A large outcomes-oriented study of Dr. Matta's cohort of patients who have underwent a periacetabular (PAO) osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia. This survivorship study was one of the largest PAO survivorship studies in the world, and the results were presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons national meeting in San Diego in 2017. This study was accepted for publication in the Journal of America Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and can be found HERE. Drs. Matta and Ziran also published a PAO technique article which was published in the Techniques in Orthopedics journal and can be accessed HERE.
2) Dr. Ziran has written 3 book chapters on anterior approach total hip arthroplasty with Dr. Matta - the innovator of anterior approach THA. He also has published a revision anterior approach technique with Dr. Matta that can be accessed HERE.
3) Dr. Ziran, Dr. Soles, and Dr. Matta published a review of outcomes after surgical fixation of acetabular fracture that can be access HERE.
4) Dr. Ziran is also co-founder, with Dr. Matta, and Director of Satori Orthopaedics, Inc. He has invented and patented a novel implant which is currently pending FDA 510(k) testing with eventual submission.
5) Dr. Ziran is currently investigating real-time bio-electric parameters of human bone and just published one of the first studies to examine voltage and resistance in live, human bone. This publication will be published in the Journal of Bioelectricity and can be found here. The information learned from this initial pilot program will lead to an improved study design for our second pilot study so that we can obtain more accurate mV and resistance values of live, human bone.
