UAMS’s Barnes Named by Becker’s Healthcare Among Top U.S. Orthopaedic Surgeons
| C. Lowry Barnes, M.D., chair of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), has been named one of “65 total knee replacements surgeons to know” by Becker’s Healthcare.
“I’m grateful to be mentioned in such company by such an authoritative voice in the world of health care,” said Barnes. “That recognition speaks to the standards, expertise and level of care we strive to provide for all Arkansans at UAMS.”
Barnes is the only Arkansas surgeon included in the list. Becker’s Healthcare is a publisher that is considered an industry leader in healthcare information.
“Dr. Barnes is president of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons as well as the Carl L.

He also holds four patents for orthopedic devices as the designer of multiple hip and knee implants.”
