History
In 1957, Sherman S. Coleman, M.D., was appointed head of the Orthopedic Surgery Division at the University of Utah School of Medicine and the newly opened Shriners Hospital Surgery Head for Crips Children. It started orthopedics at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
Harold Dunn joined the division in 1969 with a focus on scoliosis, spinal trauma, and total joint replacement. Because Dr. Coleman has been well developed as a child orthopedist and as a musculoskeletal oncologist, the University of Utah School of Medicine was brought in a new direction for orthopedic treatment.
In 1967 the County Hospital was closed, and the Utah University Health Sciences Center opened on the main campus. It stayed there until 1981, when moving into a new, larger, adjacent building. The clinic was moved again on October 4, 2004, when the new University Orthopedic Center began operating with its first patient, where it currently resides.
