Research & Publications
In addition to his patient-centered practice, sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon Dr Daniel Kaplan is committed to patient-focused research. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed research studies, technical papers and textbook chapters.
His primary research focus is on improving patient outcomes. He seeks to achieve this aim through rigorous collection of patient-specific and technical variables, and analysis of their prognostic value on outcomes. Such variables may include patient demographic factors, unique anatomic factors or radiologic measurements.
He also has a strong interest in biomechanical innovation. By experimenting in the lab, new surgical techniques or equipment can be tested in a safe and controlled manner. The results of this work can then be used to improve our surgical management of patient pathology.
Ultimately, his research is solely an effort to optimize his patients’ outcomes. It ensures his patients always get the most up-to-date, comprehensive, best care available.
