Dr. Rudzki has been actively engaged in academic research, medical education, and collaborative presentations at National and International Orthopaedic Conferences for over 20 years. Dr. Rudzki had the privilege in residency and fellowship to train with global leaders in the fields of orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine at the world-renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Washington University in St. Louis. These programs provided rigorous training with mentors who further inspired his love of science, research, and commitment to excellence in patient care. At the international level, Dr. Rudzki has had the pleasure of presenting from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Florence, Italy and from Galway, Ireland to Sydney, Australia. These extraordinary opportunities enable spirited and thoughtful discussion and debate in which colleagues from around the globe can learn from each other to optimize the patient care they provide at home with the best evidence-based medicine and a perspective that extends beyond regional or national trends. As a result, our team is able to partner with each patient and develop individualized, tailored treatment plans with the best medical treatments, surgical techniques, and comprehensive rehabilitation protocols to optimize results and outcomes.
