A Message From the Chair
Welcome, and thank you for visiting our website.
It is a true honor for me to chair the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. I joined the faculty in 2010, and it has been incredible to witness the continued growth and expansion. Our talented faculty are experts in all the major subspecialties — trauma, spine, reconstruction, oncology, shoulder and elbow, foot and ankle, pediatrics, and sports medicine — and we are committed to delivering compassionate, respectful, high-quality patient care.
Beyond clinical care, our faculty are equally committed to education, mentorship and research. We maintain an orthopaedic residency (five residents per year), an orthopaedic traumatology fellowship and a junior orthopaedic fellowship. Our residents are being selected for some of the nation’s top orthopaedic fellowships and the feedback on their readiness is exceptional. Our medical students are being exposed to all aspects of musculoskeletal medicine. The integration of our training and clinical practice into the SSM Health portfolio has only strengthened the care, education and resources we provide.
We offer ample opportunities for both clinical and basic science research. Members of our faculty are nationally recognized clinical researchers, and we are the coordinating research center for several multicenter, prospective, randomized trials.
Through all these efforts, we are an active, growing, vibrant department that strives for excellence in all phases of our triad mission of patient care, education and scholarship.
Thank you for your interest in our work.
David D. Greenberg, M.D.
Professor and chair
