Line of research:

Degenerative inflammatory and structural disorders of the locomotor system and development of tests in models for joint replacement and joint instability.

Summary

The line of research focuses on traumatic and degenerative conditions of the shoulder and elbow. The main focus is on randomized assays evaluating clinical and structural results after surgical procedures, in addition to the correlation between clinical, intraoperative and imaging evaluation and the search for prognostic factors for better postoperative clinical results.
