OrthoBiologics and Nonoperative Orthopedics

I am a consultant for industry interested in joint preservation, orthobiologics and nonoperative knee management. My role is to assist industry with their goals of avoiding knee replacement surgery—when realistically possible.

I am board-certified (ABOS) in orthopedic surgery and remain a member of AAOS, AOSSM, AANA, IPSG and ICRS. In May 2022, I retired from the operative side of my practice that was focused on knee preservation, cartilage restoration and patellofemoral disorders.

“Although I retired from surgery, I have not retired from thinking. I still want to utilize my over 30 years of experience to continue to help patients with knee problems indirectly through industry products.”

I am actively working with the following companies and am open to additional collaboration:

  • Elute: Data Safety Monitoring Committee

  • Lumiheal: Medical advisory board

  • Medipost Consultant

  • Med Market Consulting

  • Moximed: Design surgeon for product and clinical study of the "knee unloader": MISHA knee system

  • Organogenesis: Consultant

  • Vericel Consultant

  • ZKR Orthopedics Consultant/ Medical Board

I continue to be a member of the Cartilage Research Foundation, which funds focused cartilage research.
