If you’re exploring your options for hip or knee replacement surgery in San Antonio — especially if you’re on Medicare — there’s a new name you need to know: Dr. Alaina Brelin. Board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and fellowship-trained in adult reconstruction, Dr. Brelin is now seeing patients at TruOrtho and offers a unique combination of precision, compassion, and accessibility.
Why Patients Are Turning to Dr. Brelin for Hip and Knee Surgery
Dr. Brelin brings elite military training, advanced fellowship experience, and a dedication to minimally invasive techniques that speed up recovery and reduce pain. She was mentored by Dr. Amanda Marshall-Rodriguez, a world-recognized leader in hip and knee replacement surgery, and now works alongside her at TruOrtho.
As demand for hip and knee replacements grows, especially among aging adults in San Antonio, many patients have faced long wait times or difficulty finding a surgeon who accepts Medicare. Dr. Brelin proudly accepts Medicare, making expert-level joint replacement care more accessible than ever.
Fellowship-Trained Expertise with a Personal Touch
After completing her residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Dr. Brelin served as an orthopaedic surgeon in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Afghanistan. Her experience under high-pressure environments shaped her commitment to precision and detail — qualities that now benefit her civilian patients every day. She then completed a prestigious fellowship at Fondren Orthopaedic Group/Texas Orthopaedic Hospital.
Her specialties include:
• Minimally invasive hip replacements
• Total knee replacements
• Revisions of failed implants
• Joint preservation and reconstruction
