Nicholas KolodychukAssistant Professor, Department of Orthopaedics

Background

Having completed training I am excited to return to Ohio and join the Ohio State University.

Dr. Kolodychuk maintains an active interest in clinical research along with his clinical practice. He is a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Despite being early in his career he has authored over 15 journal articles and has spoken at conferences in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. He specializes in total hip and total knee replacement and is particularly interested in kinematic alignment and using new technology to improve patient experiences and outcomes.

In his free time, Dr. Kolodychuk enjoys golf, hiking, running, and spending time with his wife and schnauzer, Stanley.
