About Michael Rusnak, MD
Dr. Mike Rusnak is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon.
Dr. Rusnak is one of OCR’s trauma and fracture specialists, along with Robert Baer, MD, Riley Hale, MD, and George Chaus, MD.
He takes care of patients’ fractures and orthopaedic trauma in most every part of the body — from the shoulders down to the feet. The only fractures Dr. Rusnak does not provide care for are those involving the head, spine, and fingers.
Individuals who have complications and problems after recovery, such as pain, loss of function, stiffness, and mal-united fractures, also receive care in Dr. Rusnak’s practice.
He joined the Orthopaedic & Spine Center in 2008, after completing advanced training in trauma surgery and fracture care in a fellowship program at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. (Fellowship programs provide physicians with an additional, or sixth, year of orthopaedic surgery training following the completion of their residency program.)
Dr. Rusnak completed his residency training at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, where he also obtained his medical degree.
He holds board certification from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
He takes care of patients from OCR’s service area of northern Colorado, Wyoming, and western Nebraska.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Rusnak enjoys spending time with his family, or heading out for a ride on his bicycle.
