About Me

For expert orthopedic surgery, especially following an accident or traumatic injury, look to Justin Krajča, MD, at Avera Orthopedics in Sioux Falls, SD.

Expert Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon

As a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeon, Dr. Krajča specializes in the complex fracture repair of bones and joints. He works with patients of all ages from children and teens to adults and geriatric patients.

“As an orthopedic trauma surgeon, I’m caring for someone who is possibly at the lowest, worst day of their life,” he recognizes. “To see them go from essentially a bed-bound status to walking into my office weeks or months later after completing physical therapy and rehabilitation is very rewarding. I’m honored to be part of that process,” says Dr. Krajča.

Dr. Krajca focuses on caring for fractures in the adult and older adult populations. Some of his specialized services treat:

  • Fractures of the upper and lower extremities
  • Pelvic fractures
  • Poorly healed fractures
  • Fractures after hip and knee replacements
  • Fractures of the shoulder

Dedicated Traumatology Team

Avera was the region's first to provide this type of care – dedicated to providing 24/7/365 coverage for serious orthopedic injuries and fractures at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center and Avera Medical Group Family Health Center emergency departments.

Active Lifestyle

In his free time, Dr. Krajča enjoys spending time with his wife and children, hunting, fishing, trail running and participating in martial arts.
