Richard Steadman, MD, physician and co-founder of The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo., will be one of the surgeons performing surgery on the NBA Portland Trail Blazers' Greg Oden next week for a microfracture in his left knee, according to an article published in AOL news.

Dr. Steadman will be joined by Don Roberts, MD, a surgeon with Rebound, a practice in Vancouver, Wa., and a team physician for the Trail Blazers. The surgery will take place at The Steadman Clinic.
