Dr. David F. Dalury specializes in total knee replacement and hip replacement. Dr. Dalury and his team of dedicated nurses, anesthesiologists, and therapists have created a rapid recovery program focused on enhanced pain management and early recovery. This program allows patients a quicker return to their desired daily activities.
Dr. David Dalury is a graduate of Dartmouth Medical School. He did a fellowship at the Harvard Hospitals, where he was trained in total joint replacement surgery. He is a Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at University of Maryland Medicine and Chief of Orthopaedics at University of Maryland St Joseph Medical Center. He is a member of numerous medical societies and associations and has written extensively for peer-reviewed publications. In addition, Dr. Dalury resides as an active member of The Knee Society , an elite group of orthopaedic surgeons charged with the advancement of care to patients with knee disorders through leadership in education and research.
We understand the concern and disruptions that the COVID-19 crisis has posed upon our patients. As we all continue to do our part to contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19, you can be assured that we are still continually striving to provide our patients with helpful resources and information to help navigate their needs during this time. Some patients may have had an interruption to their scheduled orthopaedic surgery and may be experiencing hardship in managing symptoms. Here is an article from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) that may help to manage those symptoms while we wait for things to return to normal. What to Do If Your Orthopaedic Surgery Is Postponed . Here is an article, as well as, videos posted below for those who may be suffering from hip or knee conditions. COVID-19: Preparing For or Recovering From Hip or Knee Replacement
Dr. Dalury is very interested in medical research. He maintains a database that stores information about the implants that he uses. Regular periodic X-ray examination is important to monitor the prosthesis’ fixation, and potential wear of the plastic and metal articulations. These X-rays enable Dr. Dalury to compare to the previous ones and check outcomes of the total joint replacement. Dr. Dalury recommends follow-up examinations at approximately six weeks postoperatively, followed by approximately twelve weeks, one year and then every two to three years. This information is strictly confidential and, as with all medical records, is never shared without your permission. You may be approached, on occasion by Dr. Dalury and his staff, to participate in specific research studies. These studies are strictly voluntary. They follow specific and strict guidelines and protocols, and will require your informed consent if you decide to participate.

Dr. Dalury sees patients at the following Towson Orthopaedic Associates’ locations:
Dr Dulury is the best. He is a straight shooter. He won’t do any unnecessary procedures and he knows what is best and backs it up with reasearch/facts.
Had both knees replaced one week apart on 2015 and had fantastic success(2018 now)Was 44 years old with knees of a 90+ year old can’t say enough good things about my experience. I do not wish it on anyone but… if you have to have knees replacement he was the right surgeon for the job! Read more “Can’t Say Enough Good Things”
Dr Dalury did my second hip replacement. Recovery was so much easier than the first, and much less painful. Thanks Dr. Dalury.
The BEST experience I have ever had in my life as a patient. I had a total knee replacement in January [date] 2018 with Dr. Dalury at St. Joseph Medical Center. The care and attention provided by his team and… the hospital was excellent. All calls to his office returned on the same day. Dr. Dalury is a very kind, professional and responsible doctor. He listens to you and doesn’t recommend the surgery unless it’s necessary. Dr. Dalury is the BEST orthopedic surgeon in US and I highly recommend him! Read more “The BEST Orthopedic Surgeon in US”
Dr. Dalury replaced my left knee in January 2018. Two days after surgery my incision burst (because I pushed to hard to bend it) so I went to St. Joseph’s ER. They called the orthopedic surgeon on call fixed me… up and told me to call Dr. Dalury the next day. When I called his office the next morning his staff already had a full report of what happened and instructions on what to do next. He explains things in a way an everyday person can understand and not medical terms that make no sense. He has never rushed me through an appointment and answers ALL of my questions. I’ve been to many doctors for many different problems and Dr. Dalury is by far the best doctor I have ever seen!! Also everyone of his support staff are just as through and kind. I would give him more then 5 stars if that was possible. Read more “The Best Doctor I Have Ever Seen!!”
Dr. Dalury did my right TKR in June and the left in July. I was back to work in two weeks. I am now three months and two months post op with 130 degree bend and zero and -1 extension.
Now, I have two perfect knees to enjoy life and especially my grandson!
Don’t hesitate to do the surgery…it was truly one of the easiest to recover from.
From office to OR, this is one skilled team! Read more “Thank You for Giving Me My Life Back!”
