Personal profile

Research interests

My research interest focuses on the treatment and outcome of common knee and shoulder sports injuries, especially ACL and meniscus tears in the knee and instability and labral tears in the shoulder. I am especially interested in how injury initiates the early steps of post traumatic osteoarthritis and how to potentially delay or prevent this long term outcome, from a clinical and translational perspective. 

Clinical interests

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 reconstruction including ACL reconstruction, revision ACL reconstruction and PCL reconstruction. Meniscus tears and treatment, including meniscectomy, meniscal repairs, and meniscal transplantation. Knee cartilage injury and surgery, including microfracture, OATS, osteochondral allografts and ORIF OCD. Knee realignment including high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
