Cornerstone Orthopaedic Trauma

Cornerstone Orthopaedic Trauma is a medical clinic in Boise, ID, located at 4902 W State St. The practice provides operative and nonoperative care for most fractures, including fracture nonunions and malunions, serving weekend warriors, outdoor adventurers, and accident victims. The provider team includes Dr. Zamorano, a Board Certified Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon with 17 years of experience, and Dr. Foster, a fellowship-trained surgeon specializing in pelvis and acetabulum fractures, periarticular and complex extremity fractures, non-unions, malunions, periprosthetic fractures, and fracture related infections. Erik K Hanson, a Physician Assistant with 24 years of U.S. Army service and a Master Degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, focuses on Orthopaedic Spine and Trauma care. Niki Cafarelli, a native Idahoan with a Master in Physician Assistant studies from ISU, and Eric Konkel, a Drexel University graduate and former U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, complete the staff. The clinic is open Monday through Thursday from 8am to 4:30pm and Friday from 8am to 3pm.

Dr. Zamorano graduated from UCLA and earned his medical degree from the University of Southern California, completing residencies and fellowships at Harbor/UCLA Medical Center, the University of Texas in Houston, and Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. He previously served as a professor at the University of California, Irvine, Medical Center and spent 12 years as the Director of Orthopaedic Trauma. Dr. Foster graduated magna cum laude from Colorado State University and cum laude from Creighton University, followed by a residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and a fellowship at the University of California, Davis. His philosophy centers on providing the level of care he would expect for his own family, with a goal of helping patients functionally recover as close to pre-injury levels as possible. He also performs hip arthroplasty for fracture and in an elective setting.

The practice partners with Independent Doctors of Idaho to maintain independence from hospital systems, allowing doctors greater freedom to diagnose and treat patients while avoiding conflicting interests. This structure enables the selection of high-quality, affordable care options. Patients are advised to schedule appointments in advance, as the clinic does not accept walk-ins. The office reviews patient history and health information at the front desk, frequently obtaining updated x-rays on site. A provider, often a physician assistant, then reviews images and discusses treatment plans, which may include non-operative or surgical options. The team is in network with most major insurance carriers and encourages patients to verify their specific coverage details before visits.
