Our team of physicians researchers specialize in athletic or overuse injuries of the bones, joints, muscles, cartilage and ligaments, with a special focus on shoulder, knee, hip, regenerative medicine and non-operative orthopedics.
Current research emphasizes the importance of early injury recognition and treatment in order to prevent recurring injuries. The research team meets monthly to discuss trends and practical areas where additional research is needed.
The research in our Sports Medicine and Shoulder & Elbow Center typically includes studies focused on evaluating surgical techniques, developing a deeper understanding of various injuries, utilizing the most cutting edge devices/products, and long term follow up of the patient experience.
Our unparalleled experience enables our surgeons to treat some of the most complex cases while dedicating their time to train future generations of orthopedic surgeons.
Our goal is always returning the patient back to an active lifestyle and performing research that is relevant to the future advancement of the field of orthopedics.
