Dr. Moschetti returned to Dartmouth Hitchcock in 2014 with an interest in primary knee and hip arthroplasty with an emphasis on the direct anterior approach, partial knee replacements, uncemented total knees, patient specific technology, revision hip and knee arthroplasty, complex acetabular reconstruction, periprosthetic fracture management, periprosthetic infections, knee fusions, and general Orthopaedic trauma. He is Chief of the division of Arthroplasty and started an Adult Reconstruction fellowship where he serves as fellowship director. He was drawn back to the underlying core values and culture at Dartmouth where a strong emphasis on patient reported outcomes and shared decision making places the patient at the epicenter of their medical care.
