About Dr. J. W. Thomas Byrd - Nashville Hip Institute at TOA
The Nashville Hip Institute at TOA is a multidisciplinary orthopedic center that specializes in hip preservation, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, and comprehensive sports medicine. Led by internationally recognized hip surgeon Dr. J.W. Thomas Byrd, MD, the practice integrates orthopedic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and imaging specialists to deliver tailored treatment plans for a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders. Their mission emphasizes the latest non‑surgical and advanced arthroscopic techniques, research, and education to restore function and improve quality of life. While the institute’s primary focus is on hip conditions—such as femoroacetabular impingement, labral tears, and trochanteric bursitis—it also offers dedicated knee, shoulder, and elbow services, including arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, and joint preservation. Through a combination of physical therapy, orthobiologic injections, and telemedicine, patients receive a seamless continuum of care from initial evaluation through postoperative rehabilitation.
