In conjunction with the national finals rodeo in Las Vegas next month, Travis Kieckbusch, MD, of Great Basin Orthopaedics, will present to physicians, athletic trainers, and allied health personnel who work in the rodeo industry at the Evaluation, Management and Care of the Injured Rodeo Athlete

The physicians of Great Basin Orthopaedic are committed to education.

In addition to serving as the orthopaedic surgeons for the Nevada Wolf Pack, Doctors Dolan, Kieckbusch and Mullins also serve as faculty for the University of Nevada School of Medicine.

These doctors work with the residents and fellows — physicians in training — in their office, helping them learn about the musculoskeletal system and preparing them for their future careers.

GBO Surgeon Dr. Christopher Dolan is one of only a handful of surgeons performing an innovative treatment called “reverse shoulder replacement.”

Frank Boitano had been bow legged all his life. While it didn’t cause him much concern most of his life, once he hit retirement, Frank began to experience pain that made his day-to-day activities, like climbing stairs, excruciating. “I couldn’t walk up stairs, I had to take one step at a time and I had to have a hand rail,” Frank explains.
