About
Dr. Dennis Nebel is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical techniques in shoulder and knee arthroscopy and arthroplasty. His key research areas include shoulder instability, particularly the development of novel stabilization procedures, and improving the accuracy of joint line reconstruction in total knee arthroplasty. Dr. Nebel’s most notable contribution is the introduction of the arthroscopic subscapular sling procedure, a novel technique that uses a semitendinosus graft to create a sling around the subscapular tendon, providing both static and dynamic shoulder stability. His 2019 cadaveric study demonstrated that this procedure grants significantly better stability than a traditional arthroscopic Bankart repair, offering a promising new option for patients with complex shoulder instability. In the realm of knee surgery, Dr. Nebel validated a new 3D-surface scan-based measurement technique for femoral joint line reconstruction, allowing for separate assessment of medial and lateral joint line alterations—a refinement that could improve outcomes in total knee arthroplasty. With his work cited in key orthopedic journals, Dr. Nebel is recognized for bringing innovative, biomechanically sound solutions to common surgical challenges.
