Dr. Greenhow is an Orthopedic Surgeon board certified by the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada and board eligible by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.
A native of Canada, Dr. Greenhow completed his Honors Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees at Queen's University in Ontario in 1993 and 1997, respectively.
Dr. Greenhow then pursued Orthopedic Surgery residency training at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, completing the prestigious five-year program in 2002. During his final year, he served as Chief Orthopedic Resident.
Following this, Dr. Greenhow was selected to complete a one-year Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Fellowship at the internationally renowned Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic in London, Ontario. This clinical fellowship was under the direction of Dr. Peter Fowler, recent President of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine. At the completion of this fellowship, Dr. Greenhow earned his Diploma in Sports Medicine.
Through the years, Dr. Greenhow has authored and co-authored several scientific research papers and has presented at numerous national and international meetings. He has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and awards. He has also been actively involved as a team physician and orthopedic consultant for several varsity football and junior hockey teams. Currently, he is the Orthopedic Consultant for Colorado Storm soccer and Wicked Lacrosse.
Dr. Greenhow specializes in arthroscopy and arthroscopy-assisted surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, and ankle. He has a particular interest in ligament reconstruction of the knee as well as arthroscopic instability repairs of the shoulder. His specialty training in arthroscopy and minimally invasive techniques has lead him to pursue additional training in minimally invasive joint replacement of the hip, knee and shoulder. In conjunction with one of his partners, Dr. Greenhow was the first surgeon in Colorado to perform the minimally invasive and muscle sparing MIS Anterior hip replacement, MIS Quad-Sparing total knee replacement, and MIS 2-incision hip replacement. Dr. Greenhow is one of only two surgeons in the Greater Denver area performing the MIS Anterior total hip arthroplasty. This is a standard total hip replacement done through a 3-4 inch incision over the front of the hip without cutting any muscles or tendons. This is the most recent evolution in total hip replacement and is only performed by approximately 20 surgeons across the country. Dr. Greenhow's involvement with these new procedures has recently been featured in several publications including the Denver Post, Aurora Daily Sun, and Aurora Sentinel.
In addition to his elective practice, Dr. Greenhow is very active in the management of adult and pediatric fractures at several area hospitals.
Dr. Greenhow and his wife Angela relocated to Colorado in 2003. In his spare time, he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, hockey, golf and tennis.
