Denver-Vail Orthopedics
Denver-Vail Orthopedics, P.C. has been an integral piece of local history since after World War II when Dr.s Harry Hughes, Irv Hendryson, and Elmer Franz opened their doors on January 2, 1949. When the practice began, there were only 11 Orthopedic surgeons in the state of Colorado. The small practice grew and in the early1980s, the surgeons began seeing patients in the Vail area on weekends. Soon Vail required full time surgeons to care for its sports-minded population. Two of the surgeons relocated to Vail and started their own practice. Dr. Hendryson left Colorado and eventually became the president of the American Medical Association.
At Denver-Vail Orthopedics, P.C., their orthopedic surgeons are board certified and have pursued subspecialties in sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery, minimally invasive joint replacement, foot/ankle knee and upper extremity trauma and surgical and non-surgical spine treatment. This degree of orthopedic specialization creates an exceptionally trained orthopedic surgeon who will provide you with the best care, utilizing the latest techniques and the most state of the art technology.
