Scott Rodeo, MD
Professor, Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Attending Surgeon, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York-Presbyterian Hospital
New York, New York
Dr. Scott Rodeo is Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and is an Attending Surgeon at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital and the Hospital for Special Surgery, where he is Co-Chief Emeritus of the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service and Co-Director of the Orthopaedic Soft Tissue Research Program. After completing orthopaedic surgery residency and fellowship at The Hospital for Special Surgery, he joined the faculty on the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service at The Hospital for Special Surgery. At HSS he has pursued a clinician-scientist pathway, where he leads the Laboratory for Joint Tissue Repair and Regeneration in the Orthopaedic Soft Tissue Research Program. His laboratory studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tendon, ligament, and meniscus healing. He runs a translational research program, with a focus on the use of stem cells and other techniques of biologic augmentation of soft tissue healing. The research program carries out parallel preclinical animal studies as well as human clinical studies.
His clinical practice involves orthopaedic sports medicine, with specialty interest in complex knee reconstruction (ligament, meniscus and cartilage surgery), tendon repair in the shoulder and other joints, and shoulder instability. He is Head Team Physician for the New York Giants Football Team. Rodeo served as a Team Physician for the United States Olympic Team in 2004, 2008, and 2012. Rodeo graduated cum laude from Stanford University, where he completed his undergraduate work while competing on the Stanford swimming team.
