The SPRI Sports Medicine Fellowship Program is a one year Knee, Shoulder and Hip Sports Medicine Fellowship.  The fellows participate in a rotational schedule that allows each physician to garner experience in a variety of orthopaedic sports medicine specialties.  The twelve months of sports medicine training consist of seeing patients in the Clinic, assisting in surgery, and covering team sporting events for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Teams and local high schools.  The Steadman Clinic physicians who participate in the fellowship program perform approximately 2,500 surgeries per year.  The Clinic serves recreational and elite athletes and patients from the Vail Valley, across the United States, and around the world.  In the winter there are a fair number of skiing-related injuries that account for most of the trauma call.

The Steadman Philippon Research Institute  is dedicated to keeping people of all ages physically active through orthopaedic research and education in the areas of arthritis, healing, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. 

Founded in 1988 by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. J. Richard Steadman, the Steadman Philippon Research Institute is an independent, tax-exempt (IRS code 501(c)(3)) charitable organization, employing scientists, researchers, fellows, visiting scholars, and interns.

The Steadman Philippon Research Institute is known throughout the world for our research into the causes, prevention and treatment of orthopaedic disorders. We are committed to solving orthopaedic problems that limit an individual's ability to maintain an active life.

Our research perspective is based on clinical relevance, with a goal of improving the care of the patient. Recognizing that the body's innate healing powers can be harnessed and manipulated to improve the healing process has led to exciting advances in surgical techniques, such as microfracture and innovative rehabilitation developed by Dr. Richard Steadman, and validated at our Institute. Today, the Institute is recognized worldwide for Dr. Marc Philippon’s pioneering research for the treatment of sports related injuries to the hip.
