Restoring Independence at Every Age.
Dr. Ajay K. Srivastava is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in adult joint reconstruction of the hip and knee. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, he has cared for more than 5,000 hip and knee replacement patients while building a distinguished record of leadership in resident education, clinical research, quality improvement, and evidence-based orthopaedic care. Since joining OrthoMichigan in 2010, Dr. Srivastava has developed a busy adult reconstruction practice with particular expertise in minimally invasive anterior hip replacement, partial and total knee replacement, robotic-assisted surgery, and complex revision procedures.
Dr. Srivastava is a partner orthopaedic surgeon at OrthoMichigan in Flint, Michigan. Alongside his clinical practice, he serves as Program Director of the McLaren Flint Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program, where he is dedicated to educating the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. He also holds appointments as Clinical Associate Professor at Michigan State University and Central Michigan University. Through these roles, he combines surgical education, resident mentorship, clinical investigation, and quality improvement with an active joint replacement practice.
Dr. Srivastava’s leadership extends well beyond the operating room. He served as Quality Committee Co-Chair for the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative from 2015 to 2019 and subsequently served on its Device Outlier Committee. Through MARCQI, he has contributed to statewide efforts to improve the quality, safety, and outcomes of hip and knee replacement surgery. His registry-related research has examined hospital readmissions, implant performance, periprosthetic fractures, infection risk, discharge patterns, and other factors that influence patient outcomes following joint replacement.
Nationally, Dr. Srivastava has held numerous leadership and committee positions with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. He has served on the AAOS Committee on Evidence-Based Quality and Value since 2019 and was Co-Chair of the AAOS Clinical Practice Guideline Workgroup on the Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee. He also served as Oversight Chair for the AAOS guideline addressing the prevention of total hip and knee arthroplasty infection in patients undergoing dental procedures.
His additional national service has included the AAOS Committee on Healthcare Safety, the AAOS Adult Reconstruction Hip Program Committee, the AAOS Osteoarthritis of the Hip Clinical Practice Guideline Workgroup, and several Appropriate Use Criteria panels. He has represented AAHKS in multidisciplinary initiatives involving robotic knee replacement, joint radiofrequency ablation, venous thromboembolism prevention, and rehabilitation following major joint replacement. From 2021 through 2025, he served on the AAHKS Evidence-Based Medicine Committee, helping evaluate scientific evidence and develop clinical guidance for hip and knee surgeons.
Dr. Srivastava has authored or coauthored more than 30 peer-reviewed articles and professional publications. His work has appeared in prominent orthopaedic publications, including The Journal of Arthroplasty, Arthroplasty Today, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, JAAOS, Orthopedics, The Knee, and AAOS Now. He has also served as a reviewer for JBJS.
His research spans joint replacement biomechanics, implant positioning and performance, periprosthetic joint infection, patient safety, quality improvement, healthcare utilization, and patient-reported outcomes. His publications have examined topics such as tibial component alignment and wear, implant loosening, periprosthetic femur fractures, postoperative emergency department utilization, depression and physical health after joint replacement, hospital length of stay, and the factors influencing discharge to skilled nursing facilities. He has also presented research at national and international meetings, including the AAOS Annual Meeting, the AAHKS Annual Meeting, the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty, and the Orthopaedic Research Society.
Dr. Srivastava’s academic and professional foundation reflects extensive training in both India and the United States. He earned his medical degree from Seth G.S. Medical College in Mumbai, India, and completed orthopaedic residency training through the University of Mumbai Orthopedic Residency Program at Bombay Hospital from 2000 to 2003. He subsequently completed an adult reconstruction research fellowship at the Shirley Center for Orthopedic Research and Education at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, from 2003 to 2005. During this fellowship, he participated in research involving joint replacement biomechanics, cartilage biology, implant wear, and long-term hip replacement outcomes.
He then completed an additional orthopaedic surgery residency at McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint from 2005 to 2010. Following residency, he joined OrthoMichigan and remained actively involved with McLaren Flint as a surgeon, educator, researcher, and residency leader. Dr. Srivastava is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. His professional memberships also include AAHKS, the Orthopaedic Research Society, the Michigan Orthopaedic Society, the American Medical Association, the Michigan State Medical Society, and the Genesee County Medical Society.
Throughout his career, Dr. Srivastava has remained committed to patient-centered, evidence-based care. He believes that exceptional surgical expertise must be accompanied by honesty, compassion, careful communication, and shared decision-making.
