About Dr. Harold Schutte
I attended medical school and orthopedic residency training at Loma Linda University, followed by a fellowship in Adult Joint Reconstruction at the University of Arizona.
My commitment to innovation is long-standing. I introduced Mako Robotic Arm-assisted surgery to South Carolina when I performed the state's first robotically assisted total knee replacement. In addition, I pioneered tourniquet-less knee replacement in what is the now-trademarked "free the knee" program for rapid recovery.
I am a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and have extensive experience in total joint replacement and reconstructive surgery. My specialties include hip, knee and shoulder care.
I founded the Charleston Institute of Advanced Orthopedics and am proud of the experienced team we've built. We focus on personalized care with a goal of helping each patient return to their full range of activity.
My team and I work to guide patients to the most effective, least invasive treatment. Using high-tech medical equipment and a high-touch approach to orthopedic care, we aim to provide high-performing outcomes that last a lifetime.
I also founded the East Cooper Medical Center (ECMC) comprehensive joint reconstruction program and continue to serve as its director.
Educating future generations of orthopedic surgeons is a priority for me. I've spoken nationally and internationally - including to the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons - on hip and knee replacements and have written many scientific articles on joint replacements. In addition, I served on the faculty of the Medical University of South Carolina for 20 years.
I'm active locally and nationally in my field. I am a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the American Orthopedic Association.
At the state and local level, I've served as president of the South Carolina Orthopedic Association and the Charleston County Medical Society.
