About
Dr. Matthew Getzlaf grew up in Avonlea, Saskatchewan, and remained close to home for both medical school and orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Saskatchewan. He then completed a fellowship at Banff Sport Medicine in Alberta, where he sub-specialized in sport medicine and arthroscopic reconstruction of the knee and shoulder. During fellowship, he gained extensive experience in managing ligamentous knee injuries and patellar instability. He also completed his Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM) Diploma during this time. His orthopedic interests include knee ligament reconstruction, patellar stabilization, osteotomies around the knee, and shoulder stabilization.
Now excited to be returning to Saskatchewan, Matt is looking forward to joining the surgical community in Saskatoon and reconnecting with his home province.
Outside of work, he enjoys fishing, spending time outdoors, and enjoying family time with his wife and their two young children. Together, they are excited to settle back into prairie life in Saskatoon.
