Henry J. Blum, Founding Partner and past President of Greater Houston Orthopaedic Specialists, graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Texas before earning his Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. Following completion of his orthopedic surgical residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Dr. Blum elected to pursue a Fellowship in arthritis and joint replacement at the University of Texas Medical School in Dallas, which involved an additional year of subspecialty training.
As an orthopedic surgeon in Texas, Dr. Blum is trained to detect and treat all forms of damage to the musculoskeletal system, including the tendons, ligaments, joints, bones, and muscles. Once a diagnosis has been achieved, Dr. Blum will typically resort to surgery when other treatment plans have been exhausted or eliminated. Patients may require the attention of an orthopedic surgeon for sports injuries, sprains, torn ligaments, fractures, and more.
