I am actively involved in research and lead a research team involved in clinical and biomechanical research.

I am also involved in research to improve outcomes following shoulder surgery particularly in return to play following athletic injuries. I have performed biomechanical research in conjunction with R.C.S.I., U.C.D., and Trinity College and have helped evaluate orthopaedic implants and techniques.

A new and exciting area of interest for me is designing orthopaedic implants including a humeral intramedullary nail, a guide for elbow fixation and a guide for instability surgery -Latarjet guide.

I lecture regularly both nationally and internationally, and am a trainer for the RCSI Orthopaedic Higher Surgical Training body.

I have run a Shoulder fellowship program since 2005 and have trained fellows who now practice shoulder surgery around the world. I am involved in collaborative research with colleagues locally, in Europe and the USA .
