Andrew Boltuch, DO is board certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery. He received his medical degree from NOVA Southeastern College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his Orthopedic Residency training at Largo Medical Center.
Dr. Boltuch then completed his shoulder and elbow fellowship at the Holy Cross Orthopaedic Institute under the guidance of Jonathan Levy, MD. After his fellowship, he was accepted to the Alps Surgery Institute in Annecy, France, for an Advanced Arthroscopic Shoulder and Upper Extremity Fellowship with world-renowned surgeons Laurent and Thibault Lafosse, MD.
My approach: I believe that treatment should be individually based on the patient. Medicine should not be administered in a cook-book fashion where goals, expectations, and injury patterns guide treatment plans unique to each person. Surgery should only be considered as a final option when conservative treatments fail or when particular injuries mandate surgery.
Dr. Boltuch specializes in primary and complex surgeries of the upper extremity. This involves arthroscopic, open, and advanced reconstruction techniques to treat a wide range of pathology associated with the upper limb. He also employs the use of cutting-edge preoperative planning software to customize total and reverse shoulder replacements unique to each patient’s particular needs. Common conditions Dr. Boltuch treats include rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, shoulder instability, labrum tears, tendon ruptures, trigger finger, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
He is also highly involved in research, using his broad academic background to author multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals on the subjects of shoulder and hand surgery. He has presented this research at both national and international meetings and has received recognition for his work. Dr. Boltuch enjoys teaching and is an Associate Professor for the orthopedic residency program at Largo Medical Center. His involvement in education and academics is reflected by his evidence-based approach to treating orthopedic pathologies.
