Christopher A. Arnold, MD is a Board Certified orthopaedic surgeon who is a native of Northwest Arkansas.
He graduated from Fayetteville High School and received his undergraduate degree gaining a Bachelor of

Dr. Arnold moved back to Northwest Arkansas where he started his practice with his father, the late

sports injuries to the knees. He is an active member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, The Arthroscopy Association of North America, The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the American Association of Hip & Knee Surgeons as well as multiple other professional organizations.
He and his wife Paige have two children Chase and Spencer. They are actively involved in The Church at Pinnacle Hills in Rogers, AR.
Dr. Arnold has extensive training in arthroscopic and reconstruction surgery of the knee.
Arthroscopy is a procedure, which Dr. Arnold performs to repair or remove small cartilage tears of
the joint. This is an outpatient procedure that may be performed at any of the outpatient surgical
centers. The entire hospital stay lasts approximately three to four hours. This procedure is
excellent for alleviating pain due to a torn cartilage that may cause swelling, catching, locking,
and similar symptoms. The recovery from a knee arthroscopy is approximately four to six weeks for a
full return to activity.
Dr. Arnold continues to develop and adapt techniques to utilize only the latest in orthopaedic research to allow you the best
possible result from your treatment. He utilizes a minimally invasive approach for total knee arthroplasties, working with various orthopaedic companies to further develop tissue sparing or minimally invasive techniques and instrumentation to further develop tissue sparing or minimally invasive techniques and instrumentation. These techniques
help to reduce pain and loss of function after surgery and allow patients to return to their daily lives faster with minimal
scarring. Patient satisfaction continues to be our utmost goal, with almost 95% of patients very satisfied with their outcomes
and who would go through the procedure again if needed.
