William Zuke, MD, is an Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement and hip preservation. He graduated from Colorado College with a degree in Biochemistry. He then attended Indiana University School of Medicine where he was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society for academic achievement. He completed his residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. After residency, he received specialized fellowship training in Joint Preservation, Resurfacing, and Reconstruction at Washington University in St Louis. His fellowship training focused on advanced techniques to preserve the hip joint through arthroscopy and osteotomies in order to delay onset of arthritis. He also developed a strong interest in the incorporation of technology and robotics in the operating room to improve outcomes. He is interested in improving patients' quality of life through treating hip and knee pain with preservation techniques or hip and knee replacements.
