Biography
Zayde A. Radwan, MD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston (external link). He is a board-eligible orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee reconstruction. His expertise includes primary and revision total hip replacement, total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and hip resurfacing. Dr. Radwan helps patients relieve pain, restore mobility, and return to the activities they enjoy through personalized, evidence-based orthopedic care.
Dr. Radwan treats a wide range of hip and knee conditions, including osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, developmental disorders that require joint replacement, persistent pain after joint replacement, periprosthetic fractures, and complex joint replacement infections. He performs total hip replacement using both anterior (front) and posterior (back) approaches. When appropriate, he uses robotic-assisted technology and computer navigation to improve surgical precision. He develops individualized treatment plans and works closely with each patient to achieve the best possible outcome.
Dr. Radwan completed a fellowship in Hip and Knee Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Colorado, where he received advanced training in complex primary and revision joint replacement. Before his fellowship, he earned his medical degree and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with bachelor’s degrees in Cell Biology and Psychology.
He has a strong interest in surgical education and clinical research. His research focuses on orthopedic trauma, venous thromboembolism prevention, and outcomes after revision joint replacement surgery.
Dr. Radwan grew up in Deer Park, Texas, and is proud to call Houston home. Sports injuries during his youth inspired him to pursue orthopedic surgery. Those experiences also shaped his commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Laura, a NICU nurse, their family, and their dog, Greyson. He also enjoys the outdoors and following sports.

Research Interests
Ongoing Research Activities
- Currently involved with a study evaluating the ability of thrombelastography, in combination with orthopedic injury profiles, to predict risk for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) on admission in trauma patients. Specifically, evaluating the impact of above vs. below knee long bone injuries, weight-bearing status, and soft-tissue component to supplement the predictive ability of maximal amplitude (of thrombelastography).
- Evaluating cause and outcomes of revision Total Knee Arthroplasty at the University of Colorado.
