Biography

Dr. Tyler Hauer is a Toronto native and completed both his medical degree and orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Toronto. Following this, he pursued dual subspecialty fellowship training in sports medicine—first at the University of Toronto Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Program, and subsequently at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). These fellowships allowed him to obtain specialized training in advanced arthroscopic and reconstructive techniques for the treatment of complex knee, hip, and shoulder pathology. During his time at UPMC, he also served as a member of the medical staff for the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL), Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL), University of Pittsburgh (NCAA), and Carnegie Mellon University (NCAA).

Dr. Hauer’s clinical practice focuses on sports medicine, joint preservation, and minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery of the knee, hip, and shoulder.

His academic interests lie in surgical education, with emphasis on the implementation of technology-enhanced learning tools for trainees and patients. He also conducts clinical outcomes research in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery.
