Meir Marmor, MD
Dr. Meir T. Marmor has a strong clinical interest in treatment of complex fractures, fracture complications, and fractures in the elderly population as well as in joint replacement surgery. His clinical practice involves use of advanced imaging techniques, computer assisted and minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Marmor practice includes treatment of all long-bone and intra-articular fractures and their complications, such as infected fracture fixations and fracture non-unions. Dr. Marmor also performs primary joint replacements of hips, knees, shoulders and elbows as well as revision joint replacements for infected, dislocating or painful joint replacements.
"Dr. Marmor’s research interests include muscle compartment syndrome, tibia fracture complications, elderly/geriatric fractures, evidence based medicine, surgical education, precision medicine and decision support solutions for orthopaedic surgery procedures, and surgical outcomes. Dr. Marmor’s research expertise includes clinical research, biomechanical research and computational science techniques such as big data analysis, artificial intelligence, computer modeling and simulation techniques.
Dr. Marmor has been an invited speaker at national and international conferences, speaking on topics such as measurement of outcomes in fracture surgery, evaluation and management complex fractures, fracture imaging and advanced techniques in fracture surgery. He teaches orthopaedic trauma surgery in regional, national and inter-national forums, and he is also the editor of a orthopaedic surgery textbook titled – Decision Making in Orthopaedic Trauma. Dr. Marmor is a devoted teacher and mentor to students and trainees of all levels at UCSF and beyond.
Dr. Marmor is a graduate with honors of the Israeli Institute of Technology medical school.
