Orthopaedic Surgery

Our department provides specialized educational training, along with innovative research opportunities.

We offer a five-year residency program and a one-year adult reconstruction fellowship.  We also offer educational opportunities for medical students.  Our goal is to demonstrate how education, research, and patient care are intertwined.  Providing a world-class education sparks the student’s interest in developing better treatment techniques or orthopaedic devices, which will assist individuals suffering from orthopaedic diseases.
