We utilize both traditional and cutting edge, innovative approaches to rearfoot and forefoot surgery. Additional rotations include 2 months with the Orthopedic Trauma team and 17 months at Veterans Affairs. Residents are involved in all aspects of patient care, including pre-operative workup and post-operative follow up.
