Dr. McKinley is a board certified Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in Adult Reconstructive Surgery of the Hip and Knee including Total Joint Replacement and High Tibial Osteotomy. 

High Tibial Osteotomy corrects alignment of the knee, relieving pressure from the arthritic portion of the joint, and transferring it to an area of more normal cartilage. This frequently leads to pain relief and subsequently, improved function. This surgery is an alternative to knee replacement surgery in a younger patient whom would have a higher chance of implant failure during their lifetime.

Dr. McKinley is a fellow member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the California Medical Association.

Dr. McKinley obtained his Medical Degree at Temple University and completed his Orthopaedic Residency Training at Stanford University.  Dr. McKinley then went on to complete a Fellowship in Total Hip Reconstructive Surgery with the father of modern hip replacement,  Sir John Charnley in Wrightington, England. Sir John Charnley invented the low friction hip replacement in the early 1960's and created the Center for Hip Surgery at Wrightington, England. Surgeons from all over the world made their way to Wrightington to learn his techniques. He was a master surgeon, innovator and bio-engineer.

After spending time in England with John Charnley, Dr. McKinley returned to the United States and set up in private practice at Berkeley Orthopaedics.

Dr. McKinley has been performing total hip and knee replacements for over 20 years. He is equally adept in performing revision surgery of the hip and knee. His series of primary and revision joint replacement procedures is among the largest in Northern California.
