Personal Interests
Recently I was recruited to Mayo Clinic to achieve my goals as an orthopedic surgeon to provide personalized, reliable, (cost) efficient care. My research group focuses on patient-centered progress in musculoskeletal area, to partner with patients, and to critically review our clinical practice, guided by a desire to update and challenge current models of care and transparently communicate what can be achieved and what is required to succeed. Active participation in translational research and clinical trials are essential goals of our research group. Many research collaborations and international projects have culminated in my appointment at Mayo Clinic as professor of Orthopedic Surgery aimed at Translational advances and the implementation of Regenerative Medicine. I have invested energy, vision, and time into building what now is one of the highest regarded clinical trials units in knee repair.
