NICHOLAS BRADY, MD, MBA

Nicholas Brady, MD, MBA, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon at Ortho Rhode Island whose practice focuses on primary and revision hip and knee replacement, orthopedic trauma, and complex reconstruction where fracture care and joint replacement overlap.

Dr. Brady treats patients with hip and knee arthritis, fractures, painful or failed joint replacements, periprosthetic fractures, infection, instability, and bone loss. He has a particular interest in complex cases that may require a combination of fracture fixation, revision surgery, and joint replacement techniques.

He offers both anterior and posterior approaches to hip replacement and muscle-sparing techniques for knee replacement when appropriate. He is experienced in robotic-assisted surgery, CT-based planning, imageless computer navigation, conventional instrumentation, and both cemented and cementless implant fixation. Rather than relying on one approach or technology for every patient, Dr. Brady selects the techniques that best fit the patient’s anatomy, diagnosis, bone quality, prior surgery, overall health, and goals.

His approach begins with listening. Dr. Brady takes the time to understand how an orthopedic problem is affecting each patient’s life, explains the diagnosis and available options clearly, and develops an individualized treatment plan. He recommends nonsurgical care when appropriate and approaches surgery with careful preparation, technical precision, and a focus on safe, durable outcomes.

Dr. Brady earned his medical degree from UT Health San Antonio and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of New Mexico. He then completed fellowship training in Adult Joint Reconstruction at Ortho Rhode Island. He also holds degrees in economics and statistics and a Master of Business Administration in finance and accounting from the University of New Mexico.

After fellowship, Dr. Brady chose to remain at Ortho Rhode Island because of its collaborative culture, breadth of surgical expertise, and ability to provide comprehensive care for both routine and highly complex orthopedic conditions. He and his family are proud to call Rhode Island home.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Brady enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter and playing golf.
