Randy R Clark, Orthopaedic Surgeon, St.George, UT

Randy Clark, Orthopaedic Surgeon

Randy Clark is proud to return home to beautiful Southern Utah. He is a product of Dixie High School, Southern Utah University and the University of Utah School of Medicine. Ever since he was a Dixie Flyer football player inspired by his mentor Dr. Michael Anderson, he has worked toward his dream of becoming an orthopedic surgeon. His training has taken him from the football fields of Dixie High School and SUU where he was an all-region and all-American football player to study medicine and nurture his career as an orthopaedic surgeon. During his college years, he also spent two years as a missionary for the LDS church in Peru.

While at Southern Utah University, he fell in love with the most beautiful cheerleader on the squad and finally convinced Amy to be his wife. During their time in medical school, Randy was involved in Operation Smile, a community volunteer Spanish medical interpreter and performed orthopaedic biomechanical research. Due to his exposure to wonderful mentors and his motivation to excel, Randy was accepted to a top orthopedic surgery residency program at the University of Iowa, where he was fortunate to train under some of the legends of Orthopaedics.

During his five-year tenure as an orthopaedic resident he was blessed with the opportunity to care for University of Iowa Hawkeye athletes. This experience and wonderful mentors inspired him to become a sub-specialist in sports medicine. One of the greatest opportunities of Randy’s career was to complete an additional year of training in the form of a sports medicine fellowship at the world renowned Southern California Orthopaedic Institute (SCOI) with pioneers in minimally invasive shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle surgery. Randy had the opportunity to help care for collegiate and professional athletes, movie stars and wonderful people from all over the world. During his fellowship at SCOI he published and presented his orthopedic research, authored textbook chapters and has produced several educational surgical videos.

This fifteen-year journey away from St. George has been a wonderful experience and brought three beautiful children by the name of Cooper, Caroline and Calvin. Randy and Amy feel fortunate to return to Southern Utah with their young family. Randy especially appreciates the opportunity to bring sports medicine expertise to Southern Utah and hopes that you will provide him with the privilege of caring for you!

Mission

Provide excellent orthopedic care to the Southern Utah community with a focus on joint preservation and sports medicine.

Dr. Jeremy Simon Stanton, Shoulder Elbow Hand Surgeon, Essex

Jeremy Simon Stanton, Orthopaedic Surgeon

I work as an orthopaedic upper limb surgeon with an elective practice involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. I perform many arthroscopic shoulder procedures (often in the younger population after sporting injuries) including shoulder stabilisations, SLAP and rotator cuff repairs, sub-acromial decompressions and capsular releases for frozen shoulders and also shoulder arthroplasty procedures for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

I also carry out both arthroscopic and open operations on the elbow, including elbow joint replacements for both arthritis and trauma in the elderly.

I treat many patients with radio-carpal and inter-carpal arthritis in the wrist and also the not uncommon problem  of patients with an adverse outcome after distal radial fracture.

I have an orthopaedic hand practice, treating Dupuytren's both open and percutaneously, basal thumb arthritis both by trapezial excision and joint replacement, interphalangeal and metacarpo-phalangeal arthritis with joint replacements, and the smaller conditions such as carpal tunnel decompression, trigger finger and deQuervain's release.

I work closely with very experienced anaesthetists such that the majority of my upper limb surgical procedures can be carried out under regional anaesthetic, avoiding the side-effects of a general anaesthetic, a quicker post-operative recovery and hence faster discharge. The majority of my cases can go home the same day following surgery, having been admitted the morning of surgery avoiding the need to spend any nights in hospital.

I also have a general trauma practice and take part in a 1 in 8 on call rota with a weekly trauma list. I regularly carry out fixation of complex proximal and distal humeral fractures using the most up to date methods, and treat many complex distal radial fractures both in the acute and chronic (malunited) stage.

Although an upper limb surgeon, I am also experienced in the treatment of routine lower limb trauma, including hip fractures, femoral and tibial shaft fractures (by plate fixation, intramedullary nailing and external fixation), and ankle fractures.
