About
Todd A. Borus, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty interest in arthritis, joint replacement surgery including anterior hip replacement, knee replacement surgery, and robotic-assisted surgery including Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology. Dr. Borus believes in a multifaceted approach to patient care, including a thorough understanding of the patient’s needs, use of modern diagnostic modalities, treatment with appropriate conservative measures, and advanced surgical reconstructive techniques when indicated. This approach requires expert knowledge of a patient’s problems and effective state-of-the-art treatment solutions.
His fellowship training in adult reconstructive and joint replacement surgery allows Dr. Borus to care for a wide spectrum of joint disease from the initial onset of cartilage degradation to complex joint replacement surgery.
Dr. Borus is a national leader in Makoplasty, robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery. He was the first surgeon in the region to utilize the technology in 2009, and has performed more of these procedures than any surgeon in the Pacific Northwest (over 1000 cases). He currently teaches Makoplasty surgical techniques to US and international surgeons, both in the operating room and at national conferences. Dr. Borus firmly believes that robotics help deliver increased accuracy and precision to his patients in the operating room. He utilizes this technology for the full spectrum of total joint replacement procedures: partial knee, total knee, and total hip replacements. Dr. Borus also has a special interest in direct anterior total hip replacement.
In his free time, Dr. Borus enjoys hiking, biking, running, tennis, golf, and preparing barbeque meals for friends and family.
Dr. Borus is available to see patients seeking joint replacement or hip and knee care at Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery in Vancouver at Total Joint Center Vancouver and Salmon Creek as well as in Portland at Rose Quarter.

Testimonials
-Randy Greenshields
Dr. Todd Borus, MD and Bret Lautt, PT OCS are my heroes. They gave me my life back. I’ve had two total knee replacements, 9 months apart. It was supposed to be a year apart, but, well, my other knee didn’t want to wait, I guess.
Thanks to these two gentlemen, I am able to walk again with no crutches and no cane. I am very happy. I walked with crutches for nearly 7 years. My right elbow can testify on the pain of that!

After some discussion, Dr. Borus agreed that I was a good candidate for Bi-Lateral Total Knee Replacements, and I had them done in June of 2008. Within 8 weeks I was back in my dog agility class and by 11 weeks I could walk 5 miles. I was very dedicated to the PT, which is one reason Dr. Borus was willing to do both knees at the same time. He's an excellent surgeon and I received excellent care at SW Medical Center. Since then my brother-in-law, my mother and a few friends have had Dr. Borus do their knee replacements and we all agree that he's the best! I'm almost seven years post surgery and I'm hiking, showing my dogs in agility and other sports and more active than I was before I had my knees replaced. I have no regrets!

I am very grateful to Rebound and Dr. Borus for improving my life style. I was living with immense pain. As a result, I have had both hips replaced, one knee partially replaced and one knee scoped. I am able to do anything I want physically. I exercise on the eliptical 4 times a week for 20 minutes each time. I hike with my wife every chance we get. In fact, we have hiked the Great Wall of China and in the Andes in Machu Picchu Peru. Believe me, these were very steep hikes. Plus we ride our bycles often. What more can I say. Rebound and Dr. Borus have made a huge positive difference in my life.

I had my first MAKOplasty surgery in May of 2009 and the second in Nov, of 2011. Before the surgery I was only able to function with Celebrex and I couldn't take it anymore. I then tried very expensive braces, but found them awkward and uncomfortable. I found that I was not going on the hikes I used to go on, someone had to help me out of my kayak and carry my boat, and I was always aware of my knee and the pain I was experiencing even when I wasn't doing anything active. Finally, I scheduled my first total knee surgery and was so delighted to find out about Makoplasty just by sheer accident. Now I can do anything.Dr. Borus is one of the best surgeons and human beings I have encountered. He is encouraging, patient, and willing to answer all your questions. I am immensely grateful.

Wanted to let you know how well my knees are doing! I've been hiking a lot and climbing mountains this summer. This picture is from on top of the Matterhorn (elevation 9826') in the Eagle Cap Wilderness only 6 months after partial knee replacement and 8 months after ACL reconstruction.
A big thank you for helping me get back to doing what I love!
