Interest in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries led Dr. Yocum to pursue a career in orthopedics. Working with OrthoArkansas’ extensive trainer network, Dr. Yocum has provided athletic event coverage for Central Arkansas for more than 15 years. This has given him extensive experience in evaluation, surgical/non-surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries. Joint replacement surgery, including total, partial, and limited incision surgery for the hip/knee, has also been a primary interest for Dr. Yocum.

He understands the importance of rehab through supervised physical therapy in returning the patient to action with maximum function and diminished risk for re-injury.

A board certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Yocum earned his medical degree from U.A.M.S. and completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Louisville. He is married with two sons, enjoys golf, snow skiing and hunting.
