Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
1. Minimally invasive and arthroscopic treatment alternatives for common hand and wrist disorders. I am currently exploring the safety and efficacy of an all-inside arthroscopic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair technique, and the arthroscopic treatment of wrist, finger and thumb arthritis.
2. Biologic augmentation of tendon repair strategies utilizing stem cells. I am currently utilizing a unique model for biologically augmenting current mechanical techniques of tendon repair.
3. Cartilage engineering strategies utilizing stem cells. I am currently attempting to characterize the ideal environment in which to culture and differentiate mesenchymal stem cells along a cartilage lineage, using scaffolds and hyaluronic acid and TGF-beta in differing concentrations.
