Christopher Bartolomei

About

Christopher Bartolomei is an emerging leader in orthopedic biomechanics, with a focused expertise in shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss. His research addresses critical gaps in the understanding of posterior shoulder instability, a condition often understudied compared to its anterior counterpart. In his most cited work, "Biomechanical Evaluation of Posterior Shoulder Instability With a Clinically Relevant Posterior Glenoid Bone Loss Model" (2023, 10 citations), Bartolomei pioneered a novel biomechanical model that more accurately replicates the orientation and morphology of posterior glenoid defects, moving beyond the limitations of traditional anterior instability models. This study demonstrated how posterior bone loss and labral pathology alter shoulder mechanics across multiple arm positions, providing essential data for surgical decision-making. Bartolomei’s contributions are particularly impactful for clinicians treating athletes and active individuals, offering evidence-based insights into reconstruction techniques. With his work already shaping the next generation of instability research, Bartolomei stands out as a promising investigator whose rigorous, clinically relevant approach is advancing the field of shoulder biomechanics.
