Michael A. Arata, MD, a board certified orthopedic surgeon with Fort Wayne Orthopedics (FWO) since 1981, sees patients and performs surgery at Community Memorial Hospital (CMH). Specializing in hip and spine surgery, Dr. Arata is a visiting specialist with the Musculoskeletal Institute of Community Memorial Hospital. Dr. Arata treats pediatric cases including scoliosis and kyphosis. He also works with adult spine patients. Dr. Arata brings a new procedure to CMHthe Anterior Approach for total hip replacement.
