For over a decade, Dr. Galjour has been a dedicated member of our Mississippi State University Orthopedic Team, often seen on the sidelines at games alongside his orthopedic surgeon colleagues. He works closely with the coaching and athletic training staff, and is frequently on the field assessing and treating injured players. His timely evaluations and expertise provide athletes, families, and coaches with the reassurance they need regarding an athlete’s readiness to return to play or the need for immediate care.

Dr. Galjour extends his care to student-athletes at Mississippi University for Women, as well as to local junior high and high schools. He focuses on balancing athletes’ ambitions with the necessity of proper healing to ensure long-te1m success. This patient-centered approach is consistent across all his patients, regard less of their athletic status.

His broad expertise encompasses a wide range of orthopedic injuries and conditions affecting the hand, elbow, shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle. Dr. Galjour completed his orthopedic residency at Campbell Clinic and further specialized with a fellowship in hand and upper extremity (elbow and shoulder) injuries. He skillfully dete1mines whether conditions such as broken bones or tom ligaments require a splint, cast, or minimally invasive surgery.

Throughout the recovery process, Dr. Galjour collaborates with our hand therapists and physical therapists to help patients regain optimal motion and dexterity, facilitating a swift return to their regular activities.
