Dr. Buttacavoli grew up in Miami Beach, Florida but had his first exposure to Texas when he attended Rice University on a Golf scholarship. After completing his degree in Economics, he returned home to the University of Miami for Medical School. He was very fortunate to match for the Orthopaedic Residency at UT Health San Antonio. During this time, Dr. Butttacavoli developed specific interest within Hip and Knee Reconstruction. After residency, he completed his Fellowship training in Adult Hip and Knee Reconstruction at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. After his fellowship in Boston, he traveled to Switzerland for additional training in hip reconstruction at Balgrist Hospital. Upon returning from Switzerland, Dr. Buttacavoli decided to enter private practice in Miami. After 2 years in Miami, he returned as staff to the same department where he once was a resident. He was excited to join the faculty of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UT Health San Antonio
