Lyall J. Ashberg, MD, FAAOS
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon
Founder – Oceanside Orthopaedics Consulting

Dr. Lyall J. Ashberg is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with nearly 25 years of orthopedic experience, including dual fellowship training in pediatric orthopedics and hip preservation and arthroscopy. His career spans academic medicine, private practice, international healthcare systems, and hospital-based consulting across the United States and abroad.

As one of the early hip preservation specialists in Palm Beach County, Florida, Dr. Ashberg developed a longitudinal understanding of musculoskeletal disease—recognizing that many adult orthopedic conditions originate in childhood and evolve silently over time. This perspective has shaped both his clinical expertise and his consultative approach to complex orthopedic problems.

Dr. Ashberg has held faculty, consultant, and leadership roles at children’s hospitals, tertiary referral centers, and community hospitals. His orthopedic background includes pediatric and adolescent orthopedics, complex hip disorders, hip–spine pathology, deformity correction, and adult reconstructive and non-operative care. His surgical experience includes hip arthroscopy, open hip preservation, pediatric trauma, and robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior approach.

In addition to his clinical background, Dr. Ashberg provides medical–legal consulting services, including independent medical evaluations, comprehensive record review, causation analysis, and standard-of-care opinions. His medico-legal work emphasizes objectivity, evidence-based reasoning, and clinical context, with a primary focus on defense and neutral expert perspectives.

Dr. Ashberg serves as an Editorial Board Member for Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgeryand has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and scientific presentations at national and international orthopedic meetings, particularly in the areas of hip preservation and arthroscopic surgery.

He is the founder of Oceanside Orthopaedics Consulting, an orthopedic consulting practice aimed at professionals, and Health Nexus Orthopedics & Wellness, a separate patient-facing practice focused on integrated orthopedic and wellness care. These entities are intentionally distinct in scope, mission, and service delivery.

Oceanside Orthopaedics Consulting collaborates with professionals and organizations requiring objective orthopedic expertise and advanced clinical insight.
