Advancing Joint Preservation Techniques: Research Focus of Dr. Rachel Frank, MD

Our research has strong interests in both surgical and non-surgical joint preservation techniques for the knee and shoulder, including novel and minimally-invasive biologic therapies. In addition, we have a particular interest in better understanding and treating both acute and overuse injuries unique to the female athlete. Collaborating with a variety of departments within the University of Colorado School of Medicine as part of a multidisciplinary effort, we are actively involved in dozens of research projects focusing on advancing joint preservation techniques and improving clinical outcomes for patients with sports medicine and shoulder injuries.
