His research is prize-winning (over 150 publications and a lead editor of 39th Edition of Gray’s Anatomy). His studies of knee motion employing weight-bearing, ‘dynamic’, MRI changed thinking in this field.

Current focus is on the medial soft tissue envelope. Clinical research is mainly on outcomes of surgery in elite athletes.
