Dr. Grammer has deep family roots in Arkansas, with ties that stretch back over 150 years. He grew up in Northwest Arkansas and attended Fayetteville High School, where he participated in a variety of sports including football, baseball, golf, shot put, and discus.
Dr. Grammer’s special interests include direct anterior hip replacement, partial knee replacement, artificial intelligence applications in hip replacement, robotics-assisted knee replacement, low or no opioid joint replacement, and same-day joint replacement procedures.
