About
Marc-Frederic Pastor is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on the biomechanics of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), with a particular focus on implant stability, scapular notching, and the influence of patient anatomy on surgical outcomes. His major contributions include a landmark cadaveric study (63 citations) demonstrating how the humeral neck-shaft angle and glenosphere lateralization critically affect joint stability—a finding that directly informs implant design and surgical technique to reduce dislocation risk. In another key biomechanical investigation (16 citations), Pastor systematically evaluated how variations in scapula neck anatomy and glenosphere configuration drive inferior scapular notching, providing evidence-based guidance for implant positioning to mitigate this common complication. His work bridges the gap between engineering principles and clinical practice, offering surgeons actionable data to optimize RSA longevity and patient function. Through meticulous robotic-assisted cadaveric studies, Pastor has established himself as a vital voice in shoulder arthroplasty research, helping to refine implant parameters that enhance both stability and range of motion while reducing revision rates.
