Philosophy of Care
I believe that the restoration of anatomy and respect for soft tissues after an injury will result in the best outcomes for my patients. I, therefore employ tried-and-true principles of fracture surgery along with innovative and contemporary minimally invasive techniques to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions including trauma and degenerative disease.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Bromfield is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeon. His clinical interests are in fractures of the pelvis, acetabulum and extremities. He has a particular interest in periarticular fractures, nonunions, malunions and deformity correction.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Bromfield’s academic interests include advancement of fracture care, especially novel techniques and multidisciplinary approaches to improve outcomes after fracture surgery.
