Dr. Stoneback specializes in the treatment of simple and complex fractures, nonunion and malunion fractures, osteomyelitis, orthopedic infections, limb length discrepancies and limb lengthening surgery, deformity correction, rodeo injuries, limb amputation and amputation correction, stature correction, post-traumatic limb salvage, and novel osseointegration surgery in amputees. The idea for an interdisciplinary approach to treat these conditions led to the creation of the Limb Restoration Program at the University of Colorado Hospital. The CU Limb Restoration Program combines comprehensive orthopedic, vascular, wound, and rehabilitative care to serve a growing number of patients with complex extremity injuries and provide deformity correction services. Dr. Stoneback serves as the Director of the Limb Restoration Program at the University of Colorado. Dr. Stoneback’s clinical and research interests focus on the interdisciplinary approach to optimize health outcomes in patients who lose or are at risk of limb loss. He has always been intrigued and inspired by the connection between form and function and is highly motivated to provide patients with real options – often when all other choices have been exhausted. He specializes in deformity correction. As a former rodeo competitor himself, Dr. Stoneback developed an interest in caring for the injured rodeo athlete. Rodeo injuries often result in orthopedic trauma and advanced orthopedic limb reconstructive techniques are needed to correct the injury. Dr. Stoneback has established himself as an expert in the rodeo injury field and often serves as an expert speaker on this topic for other emergency medical professionals. He was the Co-Founder of the Children’s Hospital Colorado Rodeo Experience, which served to bring the fun of a rodeo to the pediatric patients unable to attend due to illness.
