Dane Brodke, M.D., M.P.H. (he/him)
- Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, School of Medicine
Biography
I am an assistant professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at 博彩网站. I specialize in treating complex arm, leg and pelvis fractures (broken bones). I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to support patients and their families through the challenges of recovering from a serious musculoskeletal injury.
My research focuses on advancing fracture care through two key approaches: improving surgical precision with innovative techniques and using wearable devices to assess patient mobility and function in everyday situations. I am also an active member of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and AO Trauma North America.
I earned my medical degree from UCSF and a master's degree in public health from UC Berkeley. I completed an orthopedic surgery residency at UCLA and an orthopedic trauma fellowship at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
When I'm not caring for patients, I enjoy skiing, hiking and spending time with my wife and our black lab in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
