Meet Benjamin Diedring, DO

Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Surgeon Specializing in Primary and Revision Hip & Knee Replacement

Benjamin Diedring, DO, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with CHRISTUS Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute in Tyler, Texas, specializing in hip and knee replacement and adult reconstruction. He completed advanced fellowship training in Adult Reconstruction at Indiana University, where he received extensive high-volume training across the full spectrum of hip and knee replacement—from routine primary arthroplasty to complex revision reconstruction. That depth of training allows Dr. Diedring to offer patients across East Texas comprehensive, specialized joint care close to home. His goal is simple: to partner with each patient, understand their individual goals, and build the treatment plan that best fits their needs and their life.

Career at a Glance

• Advanced training and experience in complex and revision hip and knee replacement
• Author of multiple peer-reviewed studies in joint replacement, orthopedic trauma, and fracture care
• Member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), and the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics (AOAO)

Clinical Role and Leadership

Dr. Diedring's practice centers on adult hip and knee reconstruction — from primary joint replacement to the most challenging revision cases. His fellowship focused specifically on restoring failed and complex joints: managing bone loss and restoring joint stability, treating periprosthetic fractures and infections, and rebuilding function in patients who have already undergone one or more prior surgeries. For referring physicians, that means a trusted local resource for both routine joint replacement and the more complex cases.

He provides specialized care for conditions including:

• Hip and knee arthritis and degenerative joint disease
• Chronic joint pain and stiffness limiting daily activity
• Evaluation for primary hip and knee replacement
• Complex primary joint replacement in patients with deformity or prior injury
• Painful, loose, or failed prior joint replacements
• Periprosthetic fractures around an existing implant
• Prosthetic joint infection and complex revision reconstruction

What You Can Expect from Care with Dr. Diedring

Dr. Diedring believes the most important person in the room is always the patient. He takes the time to explain each diagnosis and every option in plain language, then works with patients to choose the path that fits their goals and expectations — not a one-size-fits-all protocol. He holds himself, and his entire care team, to a single standard: excellence in service of the patient.

Patients can expect:

• Clear, honest explanations of diagnosis and treatment options
• Individualized plans built around your goals, activity level, and lifestyle
• Fellowship-trained expertise across primary, complex, and revision joint replacement
• Evidence-based care informed by fellowship training and current research
• Collaborative decision-making at every step, with you at the center

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Diedring uses contemporary surgical techniques designed to preserve soft tissues, restore joint mechanics, and support efficient recovery following hip and knee replacement. His approach is individualized to each patient's anatomy, diagnosis, and reconstructive needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all surgical strategy.

He also incorporates advanced technology when appropriate, including computer-assisted navigation to support surgical planning, component positioning, alignment, and restoration of joint mechanics. For complex and revision cases, he utilizes specialized reconstructive techniques and implant systems to address challenges such as bone loss, instability, deformity, infection, and previous surgery.

Research and Thought Leadership

Dr. Diedring's fellowship training instilled a commitment to advancing the field through research. Beyond the operating room, he has contributed to peer-reviewed orthopedic research spanning total hip arthroplasty, fracture-related infections, orthopedic trauma systems, hip and femur fracture care, sacral fracture management, and compartment syndrome. His published work has examined ways to improve surgical accuracy, streamline trauma care, and enhance patient outcomes — reflecting a commitment to bringing the best evidence-based practices directly to his patients.
