He specializes in hip and knee reconstructive surgery concentrating on primary (first time) and revision (redo) total hip and total knee replacements, as well as partial knee replacements and hip resurfacing. He also performs total hip replacements through both anterior (front) and posterior (back) approaches. 

Focused on delivering excellent care to obtain the best outcomes, his practice encompasses the treatment of all forms of arthritis, continued pain following a joint replacement, developmental disorders of all ages that require joint replacement, fractures with or without the involvement of a joint replacement, as well as the treatment of complex infections involving joint replacements. When clinically applicable, he is experienced in using technology (robotics and navigation) to aid with his procedures.

Joining the UT Physicians Orthopedics team from the University of Colorado where he completed a fellowship in hip and knee reconstructive surgery, Dr. Radwan attended medical school and completed his residency at UTHealth. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas with undergraduate degrees in Cell Biology and Psychology.

As a testament to his success, the doctor is board-certified in orthopedic surgery by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS). The ABOS is an organization with the goal of establishing educational and professional standards for orthopedic residents and surgeons as well as evaluating the qualifications and competence of orthopedic surgeons.

On a professional level, Dr. Radwan is an active member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. He has an interest in surgical education and research. During both his residency and fellowship, he participated in several clinical research projects with a focus on trauma, venous thromboembolisms (blood clots), and outcomes following revision joint replacements.

Among his other roles, he has admitting privileges at Memorial Hermann Orthopedic and Spine Hospital – Bellaire, Memorial Hermann Pearland Hospital, Memorial Hermann Southfield Hospital, and Memorial Hermann – Texas Medical Center.

Passionate about teaching, Dr. Radwan serves as an Assistant Professor within the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

Orthopedic surgery is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.

A native of Houston, Dr. Radwan grew up in the southeastern suburb of Deer Park, Texas. Growing up he spent much of his time on the football field and caring to his own injuries. It was his experiences as a patient that inspired him to seek a career in orthopedics and caring for others. He is married to his college sweetheart, Laura, who also works in the medical field as a NICU nurse. In addition to taking care of his patients, he enjoys the outdoors, spending time with family, sports, and taking his dog, Greyson, on walks.
