This international partnership facilitates a dynamic exchange of ideas and techniques, ensuring that we are not just participants but leaders in global orthopedic research.
Focused Research on Superior Capsule Reconstruction
Our research primarily targets the enhancement of surgical methods for superior capsule reconstruction. We aim to address complex orthopedic issues that currently lack optimal surgical resolutions. Through continuous biomechanical testing and dynamic analysis, our research seeks to innovate and refine procedures that enhance patient outcomes without extensive invasive interventions.
Publications and Contributions to Orthopedic Knowledge
Dr. Jay Boughanem has contributed to multiple authoritative books in the field of orthopedic surgery, including titles like “Pocket Medicine in Orthopedics”, which is designed to aid orthopedic residents and surgeons across the globe. Published in multiple languages and distributed worldwide, these publications by major medical publisher Wolters Kluwer, underscore our commitment to sharing knowledge and best practices in orthopedic surgery.
Integrating Technology with Technique
Since 2011, Dr. Jay has been pioneering the use of computer-guided navigated total hip and knee replacement surgeries in the Hawaiian Islands. His extensive training in robotics and navigation during his residency and fellowship in Boston and Chicago has positioned him as a frontrunner in employing advanced technologies for precise surgical outcomes.
Educational Impact and Ongoing Learning
We believe that a fundamental part of pioneering in medicine involves not only practicing but also teaching and constant learning. By actively engaging in the development of educational materials and participating in global conferences, we ensure that our team and the broader medical community are continually updated with the latest scientific and practical advancements.
