Orthopaedic Surgery

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery provides nationally ranked, comprehensive medical and surgical care of the musculoskeletal system to both adults and children. As a leading West Coast center for orthopaedic care and a key player in the world-renowned UC Davis Trauma Center—one of the largest and most sophisticated interdisciplinary trauma programs in the nation—the department provides a full spectrum of treatment specialties.

The department also offers a wide range of educational programs for medical specialists, residents, and medical students and pursues broad research investigations. In keeping with UC Davis Health's commitment to discovering and sharing knowledge, the department has established academic and clinical-care affiliations with partner organizations and regional, state, and national health-care systems, including Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California and Kaiser Permanente, Sacramento.
