EAST PROVIDENCE, RI (July 23, 2024) — University Orthopedics, one of the region’s largest, most comprehensive orthopedic practices, is pleased to announce the addition of Rhode Island-native Stephen Marcaccio, MD to The Sports Medicine Center.
Fellowship-trained in both orthopedic sports medicine and orthopedic trauma, Dr. Marcaccio treats a wide variety of injuries and ailments in athletes and active individuals–with a specific focus on the shoulders, hips, and knees. He is also experienced in treating fractures of the upper and lower extremities, including clavicle fractures, fractures of the humerus, elbow, and forearm, as well as those of the hip, femur, knee, tibia, and ankle.
“Dr. Marcaccio’s comprehensive knowledge of both sports medicine and orthopedic trauma makes him an outstanding addition to our practice. His experience–combined with a dedication to patient-centered care and positive outcomes–ensures our patients will receive tailored treatment that is of the highest standard,” said Dr. Edward Akelman, president of University Orthopedics. “We are truly excited to welcome a surgeon of his caliber to University Orthopedics.”
Before completing the orthopedic sports medicine fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Marcaccio received the majority of his medical education and training at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in his home state of Rhode Island, earning his medical degree, and completing both his residency in orthopedic surgery and a fellowship in orthopedic trauma while there.
“During my orthopedic surgery residency and orthopedic trauma fellowship at Brown University, many University Orthopedics physicians were my teachers and mentors. I’m now incredibly honored and excited that these skilled surgeons and doctors, from whom I’ve learned so much, will now be my colleagues,” said Dr. Marcaccio, who grew up in East Greenwich, RI. “Not only do I get to continue my career at one of the best orthopedic practices in the country, but I get to do so in my home state, helping my fellow Rhode Islanders. It doesn’t get much better than that.”
Dr. Marcaccio will see both adult and pediatric patients at the University Orthopedics locations in East Providence, East Greenwich, Providence, and Cranston.
Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Marcaccio is the assistant team physician for Brown University Athletics and team physician for the school’s men’s and women’s hockey teams.
