Dr. Richard Steadman | A Legend in Orthopedic Sports Medicine

A scene from The Thin Line featuring Dr. Richard Steadman. Steadman revolutionized orthopedic medicine. He retired not so long ago after six decades of putting back together both world class athletes and weekend warriors. Steadman’s ability to return high-level athletes to medal-winning victories following surgery made him an iconic figure in sports medicine. He was particularly famous within the Alpine Ski Racing World. “I was injured very, very severely in 1979 leading up to the 1980 Olympics,” recalled Phil Mahre. “He put me back together. A lot of people said my career was over. He didn’t see it that way.” He put American ski racing legend Cindy Nelson back together as well and set her back on the World Cup tour. “Dr. Steadman is the single most important person in my ski racing career. He is the one that put me back together. He told me I was 100 percent and I went out there and I believed him,” Nelson said. “I owe to Dr. Steadman a part of every medal, every World Cup win, every victory big or small.”
