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.

An amazing surgeon.

I had a complete hip replacement one week ago today and am very happy with the results...a little pain but it is managed well...the joint pain I have had for over a year is gone and I know the surgical pain will be short lived...great doctor and staff...would highly recommend them.

I can't believe the amazing difference in my hip since the surgery

Dr. Althaus was wonderful. He described the surgery and the potential complications especially with the prior issues with my hip. After surgery he and his team we fantastic to work with. They explained what to expect and what exercises to bring back the strength in my leg. I am amazed at how good my hip feels and how much more active I am.

good office and surgical skills - bedside manner a little abrupt

office visits before and after were good with great explanations



day of surgery comments were too brief both before and after surgery

right total hip anterior approach

He did a great job and I did not need a blood transfusion as I did with the first hip with a different doctor. Would highly recommend Dr Althaus to anyone.

right anterior hip replacement.

I can't say enough about the care I received from Dr Altaus and his staff. Very caring, knowledgeable, professional. Recovery time was minimal, pain was minimal. Excellent outcome!!! If you need a hip replacement or any other kind of ortho surgery, this is your place to go. Words can not describe how great the experience was for me.

5 Star and then some!!

I had a total hip replacement and couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From my pre-surgury appointment through the surgery, overnight in the hospital and after surgery follow-up, Dr. Althaus and the entire staff of Tri-State Specialists were wonderful and so professional. I highly recommend Tri-State Specialists to anyone needing their services!

rototor cuff surgery

So many of my friends who have had rotator surgery or knew someone who did told horror stories about pain through recovery and physical therapy. In my experience, I've had none of that. The pain was minimal and the physical therapy has been very stress-free and ahead of the game.
I would have to credit the skill of Dr. Althaus and his team for a very manageable procedure.

Couldn't be more pleased with the results

I have had two major surgeries by Dr Althaus. Everything from start to finish is exactly how you would hope it plays out.
