About

He performs surgery of the knee; arthroscopy, joint preserving osteotomies, partial and total joint replacements. He is also an expert in cartilage repair and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), having served on the Board and Education Committees of the International Cartilage Repair Society as well as the Chairman of the Cartilage Research Foundation. He is a member of the Knee Society, and in 2013 his team was honored with the Insall Award for his work on Long Term Outcomes assessment of ACI in the knee.
