about dr. kilbride
Specialties & Interests
After 20 years of orthopedic practice in the Austin community, Dr. Kilbride continues to be committed to continuing his compassionate yet specialized care with the Austin Orthopedic Institute. With two office locations in Austin, he specializes in sports medicine, joint reconstruction, and orthopedic trauma.
Dr. Kilbride’s orthopedic interests include outpatient total joint surgery, complex knee injuries, traumatic joint injuries, and sports medicine. He is also on the forefront of minimally invasive nerve stimulation in painful joints, both pre and post surgery.
Personal Story
Dr. Kilbride is a native of New Orleans. After spending his formative years there, he went to college on a baseball scholarship to Southeastern Louisiana University in the Southland Conference. He later finished his undergraduate studies at LSU in Microbiology. From there, Dr. Kilbride attended LSU Medical School in New Orleans, where he was Junior AOA (top 6 of his class). Dr. Kilbride’s trek to Texas began with an orthopedic residency at the renowned UT Southwestern.
After 5 years in Dallas, Dr. Kilbride was awarded a fellowship in sports medicine and reconstruction at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. He then became a transplanted Austin native in 2002, where he has practiced orthopedic surgery since.
He has served as the head team physician for Texas State University, numerous high schools, and provided event coverage for national and international events here in Austin. He has also participated in the orthopedic trauma call panel since his arrival here in Austin in 2002.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Kilbride enjoys family time and an active lifestyle, including running, skiing, and watersports. His 3 boys have all been NCAA college athletes and he has always been their biggest cheerleader.

Post-Op Protocols
Ankle Fracture (Fixation)
Following fixation for ankle fracture, your Weight Bearing status will be determined on a case by case basis. You should use an assistive device, with a walker or knee scooter being the safest tools. You should take Aspirin 325 mg twice daily (unless another thinner was prescribed in the hospital). You will often be in a boot walker.
Dressing off 5–7 days, NWB, shower 5–7 days
2 Weeks Post Op
- Staples/sutures out if need be
- Recheck an XR for fracture healing
- Continue on the walker/scooter
- Continue Aspirin 325mg twice daily for 4 weeks
- Begin/continue physical therapy with emphasis on knee/ankle ROM
- You should be on all your pre injury medications
- Follow up with Dr. Kilbride (either in person or virtually)
- Start working towards driving if operative leg is LEFT
6 Weeks Post Op
- Recheck an XR for fracture healing
- Continue physical therapy
- Wean walker depending on bone healing
- Maybe use a cane
- Start working towards driving if operative leg is RIGHT
12 Weeks Post Op
- Recheck an XR for fracture healing
- Resume all pre injury activities
Ankle Arthroscopy
This is a procedure where we make a couple of small incisions (about 5mm) and place an arthroscope connected to a camera to perform your surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure but is a “real” surgical procedure that requires proper post operative care.

Hardware Removal Surgery
This is a procedure where we take out hardware. We often use plates, screws, wires, rods, or sutures to hold fractures and often remove it. We use a live XR to confirm the reduction and hardware placement. Function, motion, and weight bearing immediately after surgery are often the norm. Long term, the goal is return to normalcy.
We are here to “get you better.” We do our best to personalize your care. If at any point throughout the process, you have concern, please reach out to us. The office main number is 512-856-1000.

Knee Arthroscopy with Ligament Reconstruction
This is a procedure where we make a couple of small incisions (about 5mm) and place an arthroscope connected to a camera to perform your surgery.

Your recovery goes well beyond 3 months. It often takes several months for the ligament to mature and strengthen, in order to withstand the demands of life. We, and your physical therapists, will offer a timeline to gradually increase your activity back to your specific demands.
Lower Extremity Post Fracture Surgery
This is a procedure where we make an incision over the area where the bone is broken. We then reduce it (put it back together). We often use plates, screws, wires, rods, or sutures to hold it. We use a live XR to confirm the reduction and hardware placement. Function, motion, and weight bearing immediately after surgery are most often a function of how involved both the fracture and the procedure were. Long term, the goal is return to normalcy.
We are here to “get you better.” We do our best to personalize your care. If at any point throughout the process, you have concern, please reach out to us. The office main number is 512-856-1000.

Fractures often take 3 months to heal. Unfortunately, some fractures require a period of immobilization before allowing for physical therapy. We realize this slows recovery but it’s a fine line between “getting the bone to heal” and early motion. We try to minimalize the immobilization period.
Patients often ask if the hardware is permanent. Most patients end up leaving the hardware in place. With that said, most hardware can be removed. Once the bone is healed, the hardware’s job is done. It often takes several months to completely heal. As a result, we often leave the hardware in for 6–12 months, depending on the fracture and body part.
Patients often ask “how will I know the hardware is causing problems?” There is no concrete answer to this question. Diagnosing a fracture is fairly easy with the proper studies (XR, CT, MRI). Diagnosing a hardware issue is more complex. There is no test to obtain.
Elbow Replacement (Fracture)
Some or all of your elbow joint was replaced. You may also have plates and screws. We still encourage patients to use chemical (Aspirin 325 mg twice daily or another anticoagulant) and mechanical (compression stockings) prophylaxis against blood clots. You should leave the hospital in a sling. Even just one extremity injury can severely disrupt your balance.
