Overview

Samuel Russ, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon at Summit Orthopedics specializing in foot and ankle care, serving Minneapolis/St. Paul patients. He has a special interest in sports-related injuries, arthroscopy, and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. He completed a foot and ankle fellowship at St. Mary’s Orthopedics in Maine. “I try all the things to help people live functional, pain-free lives without surgery first,” Dr. Russ says. “Then, if we determine that the individual requires surgery, I work with the patient to figure out what he or she needs, so that I am not doing too much or too little. I work to individualize the surgical treatment plan.” He volunteers his surgical skills to underserved communities through One World Surgery.

Dr. Russ is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Knock Knees. His top areas of expertise are Flat Feet, Achilles Tendon Rupture, Metatarsalgia, and Osteochondritis Dissecans.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
