About
Will Bezold is a rising biomechanics researcher whose work centers on the intricate relationship between knee kinematics and surgical repair techniques, particularly in the context of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. His major contributions include pioneering the kinematic characterization of lateral meniscal oblique radial tears (LMORTs), a common but anatomically distinct injury pattern often accompanying ACL disruption. Through a series of highly cited studies—including his 2021 and 2022 papers with 31 and 29 citations, respectively—Bezold demonstrated how untreated versus repaired versus partially resected LMORTs affect joint stability in both ACL-deficient and ACL-reconstructed knees, providing critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Beyond the knee, his work extends to shoulder and foot biomechanics, notably comparing Latarjet and distal tibial allograft reconstructions for glenoid defects, and evaluating nitinol compression staples for talonavicular arthrodesis. His research on labral reconstruction using fresh-frozen allografts further underscores his versatility. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating biomechanical insights into clinical practice, Bezold is establishing himself as a key voice in orthopaedic biomechanics and sports medicine.
