    Personal profile

    Research interests

    My research interest is the treatment of articular cartilage injuries, specifically the mechanical quality of tissue formed by different surgical treatments. I am interested in studying how different post-operative protocols may alter the mechanical quality of this tissue and investigating the genetic basis for healing after articular cartilage surgery.

    Areas of Clinical Interest

    Sports medicine and shoulder and knee injuries, with an emphasis on arthroscopic surgery. Shoulder instability and dislocations, labral tears, SLAP tears, rotator cuff tears,AC joint injuries and clavicle fractures. Shoulder stabilization and labral repair, rotator cuff repair. Knee ligament injuries including ACL, PCL tears and knee dislocations/multi-ligament knee injuries.
