My clinical, research, and educational activities focus on sports-related disorders of the shoulder and elbow. I specialize in minimally invasive, function-preserving treatments, including cartilage regeneration for osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral capitellum and arthroscopic surgery for throwing-related shoulder and elbow injuries.
My research aims to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sports injuries by integrating basic science, advanced imaging, biomechanics, and clinical investigation. During my doctoral training, I conducted basic research on cartilage regeneration, which continues to inform my translational research. I have also led community-based sports injury screening programs using musculoskeletal ultrasonography for the early detection and prevention of injuries in young athletes. In addition, I use ultrasonography and four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) to quantify joint kinematics and articular contact patterns, providing new insights into the mechanisms of sports injuries in overhead and other athletic activities.
