For Dr. Michael D. Hossack, Montefiore Einstein isn’t just where he trained, it’s home.

A proud Harlem native who spent much of his childhood in the South Bronx, Dr. Hossack first rotated here as a medical student and immediately knew this was where he wanted to build his career. After completing both residency and fellowship at Montefiore, he now cares for the community that shaped him.

A full-circle journey rooted in purpose and service.

A full-circle moment in the OR!

After wrapping his first case at Montefiore, Dr. Henstenburg snapped this photo with pediatric orthopaedic fellow Dr. Chris Ball, a longtime friend and former classmate from their days at Thomas Jefferson University’s Sidney Kimmel Medical College.

The path back together wasn’t planned. After medical school, Dr. Ball stepped away to earn his MBA, and the two reconnected unexpectedly over a text this summer… only to discover they were both starting at Montefiore. Small world, big reunion.

Today, Dr. Henstenburg is part of our spine faculty, and Dr. Ball is training in our pediatric orthopaedics fellowship.

Cerebral palsy is a static injury to the developing brain, but its effects evolve as children grow.

Dr. Alexa Karkenny explains how early injuries to the brain can lead to challenges with muscle tightness, hip positioning, knee mobility, foot alignment, and even scoliosis as kids move through growth spurts.

Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons at Montefiore Einstein address these downstream effects — helping children maintain mobility, reduce pain, and reach their functional goals alongside their families.

Honored to support patients through every stage of growth with compassionate, specialized care.

Dr. Henstenburg recently spent time in the Montefiore Einstein education simulation lab working with our orthopedic residents as they learned how to place pedicle screws — a critical skill in spine surgery. Using a model built by Drs. Martin Levy and Jaime Gomez, residents had the opportunity to practice technique, hand positioning, and safe instrumentation in a controlled environment before ever stepping into the operating room.

This immersive laboratory training is a key part of how we prepare future surgeons. Under expert guidance and with innovative tools developed right here at Montefiore Einstein, our residents gain the precision, confidence, and clinical judgment needed to deliver exceptional patient care.

Dr. David Geller’s patient, Jose, has faced an extraordinary journey. Over four years, he underwent seven leg surgeries to address the complex orthopedic challenges that followed a childhood cancer diagnosis. Today, he’s walking independently — no cane, no crutch — and has received a clean bill of health!

His progress reflects both his resilience and the collaborative, highly specialized care delivered by Dr. Geller and our orthopedic team at Montefiore Einstein.

As team physicians for the New York City Football Club, Dr. Michael Hossack and Dr. David Gonzalez bring Montefiore Einstein’s expertise straight to the field.

From sideline care to keeping elite athletes performing at their best, Dr. Hossack says supporting a Major League Soccer team has become one of the true highlights of his career.

Proud to help NYCFC stay healthy, strong, and ready for every match.

Dr. Alexa Karkenny returned to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as the Alumni Spotlight lecturer for CHOP’s Fall Visiting Professor Day. She presented “Old Diseases, New Perspectives”—a deep look at recognizing nutritional rickets, vitamin D deficiency, and scurvy in pediatric orthopaedic practice, along with emerging research on how vitamin D status may influence fracture risk.

Dr. Karkenny also connected with CHOP colleagues and alumni, including Dr. Kathleen Maguire and current pediatric orthopaedic fellow Dr. Allyn Morris—continuing a shared commitment to advancing pediatric musculoskeletal care.

As cartilage wears down, joint pain and stiffness can become unavoidable. Dr. Zachary Berliner highlights how anterior approach total hip arthroplasty and minimally invasive robotic-assisted knee replacement replace the damaged ball-and-socket surfaces to restore smooth function.

Montefiore Einstein Orthopedics uses leading surgical techniques to deliver precise, effective treatment and lasting mobility.
