C. Contributions to Science
1. Clinical management of the rotator cuff and glenohumeral joint. My primary clinical practice is focused on the shoulder. I treat patients with rotator cuff pathology, arthritis, and candidates for arthroplasty. My clinical research into these conditions has focused on improving clinical outcomes, surgical techniques, and personalized care for patients with shoulder disorders. Our work has demonstrated that education level, employment status, pain levels, and patient perception of percentage of shoulder normalcy were most predictive of emotional health in patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears. My research is focused on optimizing patient outcomes with nonoperative and operative treatment of rotator cuff tears.

2. Effect of Rosiglitazone on a novel rabbit model. In parallel with my residency program at Mayo Clinic, I completed a Master’s Degree training program – obtaining an MS in orthopedic surgery. This program consisted of a 6 month period of dedicated research, with research and classroom expectations throughout the remaining 4.5 years of residency. During this research period, I used a funded program to complete my Master’s Thesis: Effect of Rosiglitazone in reducing flexion contracture in a rabbit model of arthrofibrosis with surgical capsular release: A biomechanical, histological, and genetic analysis (PMID: 26813567). This process involved ideation and creation of the research model of posterior capsular release, as well as the use of rosiglitazone for this model. I personally completed the project, seeing it through from conception through publication.

3. Implementation of a rabbit model at Rothman Institute. While doing my fellowship at the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia, I was instrumental in developing and expanding their arthrofibrosis project. As a part of Andrzej Fertala’s lab, I designed and implemented a modified rabbit model of arthrofibrosis. This was similar in design to previous studies, but intraarticular drug delivery was designed and created in the rabbit model. I was the lead surgical consultant on the surgical and model design parameters. This lab has used this model for the successful treatment of several studies.

4. Description of Proximal Humerus Fracture Fixation Technique. As a resident, I designed, researched, and published an article on a series of patients with proximal humerus fractures. This article focused on a technique driven approach to open reduction and internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures in the very elderly. Results were substantially better than several articles were indicating at the time. This technique has become a widespread practice in surgeons across the country.
