V. Franklin Sechriest II, M.D. specializes in adult knee surgery. His practice focuses on providing patients with a complete continuum of care for their orthopedic needs.
After completing a residency in orthopedics at The University of Minnesota, Dr. Sechriest completed fellowship training in caring for sports-related conditions, as well as adult reconstruction of the knee, at the Insall Scott Kelly Institute in New York. During his seven years with the US Navy as an orthopedic surgeon and resident educator, Dr. Sechriest specialized in caring for active duty members with complex knee problems including fractures, ligament and cartilage injuries, post-traumatic deformity, infection, and especially patellofemoral instability. After then becoming director of the Adult Reconstruction Service at Naval Medical Center San Diego, he also specialized in management of patients with degenerative joint conditions with primary and revision total knee arthroplasty.
Dr. Sechriest has a particular interest in the management of young patients with arthritis and providing surgical alternatives to total joint replacement including limb re-alignment, biological resurfacing and partial knee replacement. He continues to conduct clinical research and is the author of several peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, and book chapters on these topics.
Between 2005 and 2010, in addition to his clinical duties at home, Dr. Sechriest also served four tours aboard US Navy hospital ships during missions of humanitarian aid and disaster relief abroad. He remains strongly committed to promoting overseas volunteerism as well as researching methods to improve global orthopedic care.
