Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Research 

Research is an integral component of the sports medicine fellowship. At a minimum, both a clinical and a basic science project will be required. The fellow will be given ample time for project completion. It is expected that these projects will be presented at national meetings and published in appropriate peer reviewed journals.

The Harold W. Gehring Biomechanical Research Center serves as our basic science laboratory.

In the clinical research setting, the fellow will be provided support for outcomes analysis based on longitudinal patient follow-up.

Areas of research

• augmentation of soft tissue to bone healing
• optimizing rehabilitation in shoulder surgery based on biomechanical evidence
• analysis of in-vivo glenohumeral relationships during sports activities using advanced motion analysis techniques
• elbow ligament reconstruction techniques
