Our Doctor

Dr. David Abrutyn

Dr. Abrutyn championed and implemented the Joint Surgery Center at RWJ Somerset Hospital in Somerville, NJ. This is a comprehensive, patient centric total joint replacement program that is nationally recognized with the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval. He is currently the medical director of the Athletic Trainer and Sports Performance service line at JAGone Physical Therapy.

Dr. Abrutyn authored a chapter on ACL reconstruction techniques in the book The Knee: AANA Advanced Surgical Techniques. He has been an invited lecturer and instructor on knee ligament and cartilage repair courses.

Former captain of his high school varsity basketball, baseball and soccer teams, Dr. Abrutyn understands the importance of prevention. He notes, “As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a doctor. My interest in orthopedics sparked when I tore my ACL in high school, and I benefitted from outstanding treatment that made it possible for me to eventually run the New York Marathon and continue playing basketball. My passion for athletics, fitness and medicine made orthopedic surgery a natural and gratifying career choice.” Dr. Abrutyn adds, “In addition to helping establish realistic expectations, educating my patients about their conditions and treatment options allows them to partner with me to achieve the best possible outcomes.”
