Antony
Kallur, MD
Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon
Fellowship-Trained in Spine & Pediatric Orthopedics
Dr. Kallur, who has worked in Pediatric Orthopedics for over 12 years, states that working with children is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a healthcare provider.
Children are especially focused on getting better and have such enthusiasm and drive to get there. I love seeing them and talking with them. It’s sad to see them in difficulties—yet so rewarding to see them get back to activities and a healthy life once they heal!
He also enjoys working with older patients with severe spine issues, who are often hampered from doing things they love due to scoliosis or arthritis in their back. He appreciates how rewarding it is to see them return to their favorite activities—such as golf, travel or dancing—once they are healed.
Dr. Kallur utilizes the latest technology (eg. Robotics and Navigation) and techniques (fusion and vertebral body tethering—a new, FDA approved non-fusion technique for scoliosis— to ensure the safest and most positive outcomes for intricate spinal surgeries.
He was an associate professor at Baylor college of medicine and worked at Texas Children’s hospital for the last 2 years as senior faculty in pediatric orthopedics, with special interests in spine and spine deformity. He has also worked in New Mexico for 10 years and enjoys a stellar reputation among referring physicians and fellow pediatric orthopedic surgeons.
His specialities and interests include:
- Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis— assessment, management, bracing, observation or surgery
- Neuromuscular, congenital, syndromic, and complex scoliosis in younger children— expertise in growing rods and casting
- Back pain in children— both athletes and non-athletes
- Conservative and operative interventions
- Fractures in children— treating all aspects of trauma in children (including spinal trauma)
- Lower extremity issues— limb length discrepancies, angular deformities, congenital malformations
- Tumors— all benign tumors
Dr. Kallur loves the abundance of outdoor activities and great weather New Mexico provides. In his free time, he loves hiking the Sandia mountains and foothills. He also enjoys golfing and running (Albuquerque is perfect for both) and loves to watch the balloons!!
