Orthopedic surgeon returns to Trussville: ‘I don’t plan on leaving’

Zane Hyde doesn’t plan on going anywhere.

Hyde, a 2007 Hewitt-Trussville High School graduate, recently joined OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports as a sports medicine surgeon. Hyde will see patients in Trussville at 1801 Gadsden Highway and in Hoover at 118 Mars Hill Road.

Hyde specializes in procedures and techniques to diagnose and treat injuries and conditions of the ankle, hip, knee and shoulder. His expertise includes ACL reconstruction; ankle, hip, knee and shoulder arthroscopy; partial and total knee replacement; shoulder replacement and ultrasound-guided injections.

“We are thrilled to have Dr. Hyde join our team at OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports,” said OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports sports medicine surgeon Mark Rogers. “As a native Trussville resident, he is dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care for his patients and community.”

After earning his doctor of medicine degree from The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, Hyde remained at UAB to complete his residency in orthopedic surgery. Following his residency, Hyde underwent specialty training at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville through a sports medicine fellowship.

When Hyde left for Virginia, he didn’t even sell his Trussville house, the one he and his wife bought nine years ago. When the fellowship was over, they moved right back to that home.

“This was kind of my pick, my dream goal of getting back with those guys (at OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports),” Hyde said. “The fact that it all came together, I don’t plan on leaving. I love being a part of the community. I want to live here. I want to go to church here. I want to take care of the people here. That’s kind of my goal.”

Hyde played football, baseball and basketball at Hewitt-Trussville. He knew he wanted to pursue sports medicine from a pretty early age. In college, he worked at an outpatient surgery center. That confirmed his career path. He said seeing someone struggling to walk due to a knee injury and getting them back to full strength quickly is rewarding. Hyde is now a member of the Alabama Orthopedic Society, American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine and the Arthroscopy Association of North America.

“I think the reason ultimately what drew me to it is the dramatic change in the quality of life that people can have from orthopedic surgery,” Hyde said. “To see that full circle is kind of the most rewarding part and makes me love what I do.”
