Anthony Luke, MD, MPH
Professor
Orthopaedic Surgery
School of Medicine

I have experience performing exertional compartment testing for 20 years for diagnostic purposes.

Since 2008, I have specialized in musculoskeletal ultrasound and I hold regular procedure clinics four times a month. The musculoskeletal ultrasound service has been a valuable service for patients, including ultrasound-guided injections, needle tenotomies and platelet rich plasma procedures. I am fellowship trained in Pediatric Sports Medicine by the Children's Hospital of Boston. I specialize in assessment of sports injuries in young athletes and help the Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes and direct the UCSF high school outreach programs called the UCSF PlaySafe program. We work with 18 high schools in San Francisco.

I am also Director of the UCSF Human Performance Centers at the Orthopedic Institute in Mission Bay in San Francisco. We use the latest technologies and a multidisciplinary approach to promote optimal health for athletes of all levels. We can do clinical and research evaluations for 3D motion capture of biomechanics and exercise performance testing (VO2 max and lactate), which help understand personalized motion and fitness. We can assess and counsel athletes on their performance goals.
