Helping patients to get back to their active lifestyle is my most important mission, and to do that I also conduct basic science and clinical research to develop tomorrow’s treatment options that will be less invasive, more effective, and offer a faster return to full function, whatever that looks like for each patient.
I continue to contribute to research and publications, giving lectures around the world on knee injuries and treatments, related research, shoulder injuries and treatments, and sports medicine. You can find my articles (as well as other research and publications) in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, The Journal for Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, Orthopedics This Week, Health Digest, and many more.
