Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Joern Kircher"
- Joern Kircher's research predominantly focuses on the biomechanics of shoulder and hip joint injuries, with particular attention to surgical interventions like SLAP (superior labrum anterior to posterior) repair and total hip arthroplasty (THA) revisions.
- His studies indicate that SLAP repairs can effectively restore normal glenohumeral translation and mitigate increased loading on the long head of the biceps tendon following injury, potentially addressing clinical issues like humeral chondral lesions.
- Kircher's work also highlights the complications associated with total hip arthroplasty, including the risks of instability and dislocation, which can lead to significant wear on the femoral head and necessitate revision surgeries due to aseptic loosening.
