Investigator Andrew Haskell, M.D.

Andrew Haskell, M.D.

View profile  

Andrew Haskell, M.D., specializes in orthopedic surgery (board certified), reconstructive surgery, and sports medicine (board certified). He practices in PAMF's Palo Alto and San Carlos offices. He is Assistant Clinical Professor, University of California San Francisco, and is involved with American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, San Francisco Veterans Affairs Hospital, and California Orthopaedic Association. 

His  goal as an orthopedic surgeon is to relieve musculoskeletal pain and improve function to allow patients to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. This involves treating recent injuries and fractures, diagnosing and treating chronic problems, and revising problems created by other surgeries. He uses a team approach with physician assistants, nurses, orthotists, and physical therapists to meet these goals. Many problems can be diagnosed by taking a careful history and physical exam. When appropriate, imaging is obtained, ranging from x-ray to MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, or nuclear scans. Conservative treatment is often the first step, including options such as physical therapy and home exercises, bracing or shoe modifications, and sometimes injections.

Status: Completed

Publications

Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement: 15-year follow-up.

Small cohort showed STAR ankles with retention at 9 yrs were highly likely to survive to 15 yrs, contd to have signif pain improvemt, min decrease in function.

Implementation of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system data collection in a private orthopedic surgery practice.

Using tablets to administer computerized adaptive tests and enter the data in EMR for later retrieval was effective technique to collect pt-reported outcomes.

Safe zone for placement of talar screws when fusing the ankle with an anterior plating system.

Understanding the limitations of lateral fluoroscopy when using anterior ankle fusion plates may minimize screw penetration into the subtalar joint and diminish development of subtalar arthropathy.

Fixation of osteoporotic distal fibula fractures: A biomechanical comparison of locking versus conventional plates.

The clinical implication of this study is that locking plates may be advantageous in patients with the most severe osteoporosis.

The "not so simple" ankle fracture: avoiding problems and pitfalls to improve patient outcomes.

A careful review of radiographs and CT scans, a thorough patient assessment, and detailed preoperative planning are needed to improve patient outcomes.

Osteoarthritis of the ankle: the role of arthroplasty.

To limit the number of complications and improve clinical outcome of total ankle arthroplasty, careful patient selection and surgeon experience are important.

Subtalar joint arthrodesis using a single lag screw.

Using a single 7.0-mm lag screw across the posterior facet of the subtalar joint results in fusion of the subtalar joint in 98% of patients. A prior ankle arthrodesis delays the time to fusion of the subtalar joint by 3 weeks. This is a simple and reliable technique for achieving fusion of the subtalar joint.

Natural history of avascular necrosis in the talus: when to operate.

Size and location of the avascular region likely determines risk of progression; however, symptoms do not correlate with stage.

Association of short-term complications with procedures through separate incisions during total ankle replacement.

Study suggests that surgeons can add adjuvant procedures during TAR without affecting short-term complication rates.
