Summary

  • Jason W. Stoneback, MD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is the Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs, Chief of Orthopedic Trauma and Fracture Surgery and Director of the multidisciplinary Limb Restoration Program at the University of Colorado Hospital. Previously, Dr. Stoneback was the Director of the Orthopedic Trauma Service at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, MO. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at the University of Colorado Denver, and his fellowship training in Orthopedic Traumatology at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, MO.

    Dr. Stoneback specializes in the treatment of simple and complex fractures, non-unions, malunions, osteomyelitis, orthopedic infections, limb-length discrepancies, deformity 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 Limb Restoration Program combines comprehensive orthopedic, vascular, wound, and rehabilitative care to serve a growing number of patients with complex extremity injuries.

    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.
