We aim to achieve successful and reliable organization success for “Mission-Critical” injury recovery programs. To be successful requires a deep understanding of evidence-based practices, a strong foundation in the basic medical sciences, the critical application of research in the clinic setting, continuous process improvement, and then using these tool to transcend boundaries or “push the envelope,” but still applying sound scientific methodology to provide and validate advanced “Cutting-Edge Care.”
Over my now 25-year research career, I have studied and published on a variety of topics such as advanced arthroscopic techniques of the shoulder, hip and knee; human performance and system safety parameter improvements; and contributed to the establishment of diagnostic approaches and treatment protocols that are now widely adopted and validated. My colleagues and collaborators are now at leading orthopedic sports medicine institutions around the country and we have traveled the world exchanging ideas and concepts.
My CV, or Curriculum Vitale, is provided to aid in the foundation of my knowledge, training and experience. Moreover, I provide a list of the publications I have authored. You will see I have authored over 100 publication and given over 200 presentations nationally and internationally.
I am particularly proud of the below compilation of the more than 25 authored “Landmark Papers” reflecting my commitment to advancing medical knowledge and treatment modalities. These publications have not only shaped current practices but have also established new paradigms in orthopedic sports medicine. These landmark studies (defined as having 100 citations or more) that I have authored serve as a testament to my position as a subject matter expert, innovator, and influential thought leader within the field. My publication record has significantly influenced sports medicine practices and continues to guide practitioners worldwide. Essentially, it serves as a pivotal point in scientific knowledge progression, or again “Pushing the Envelope.”
The list is in no particular order and is hyperlinked to the pubmed reference. Full articles are available on request.
My current research focuses on critically evaluating treatment outcomes and developing adaptive protocols based on evidence, as well as introducing orthobiologic as part of our treatment regimens.
As a researcher-practitioner, I approach complex cases systematically, drawing from my own published studies and clinical trials to determine optimal treatment strategies. This research-based expertise has been particularly valuable when managing complicated injuries that require nuanced treatment approaches.
Furthermore, my research has led to modifications in standard protocols, as documented in several of my key publications. This work has enabled me to develop evidence-based, individualized treatment plans that have demonstrated improved outcomes and recovery times.
The direct application of my research findings has significantly impacted patient care quality. My published work has established guidelines for selecting treatment modalities and risk-benefit profiles, allowing for evidence-based rather than intuition-based decision-making.
In conclusion, our proprietary approach to clinical decision-making, supported by the more than 25 authored landmark clinical research papers demonstrates not just academic achievement, but has helped establish fundamental principles in orthopedic sports medicine, human performance, injury management and evidence-based practice.
I feel this approach continues to shape treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes, making our influential research experience an essential consideration in injury recovery teams. My ongoing research continues to advance the field, or “Push the Envelope” while providing “Cutting-Edge Care” to patients.
