About

Horacio Martinez is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on shoulder instability, biomechanics, and surgical innovation. His most-cited study, "Effect of three remplissage techniques on tendon coverage and shoulder kinematics" (2016, 123 citations), provides critical insights into treating engaging Hill-Sachs defects in glenohumeral instability. This navigated robotic biomechanical investigation systematically compared three remplissage approaches, evaluating their efficacy in preventing defect engagement and preserving shoulder kinematics—a foundational contribution that has guided surgical decision-making. Martinez’s research bridges advanced robotics and clinical practice, offering precise, evidence-based solutions for complex shoulder pathologies. Beyond this landmark paper, his broader portfolio explores tendon coverage, joint mechanics, and minimally invasive techniques, with cumulative citations reflecting substantial impact on orthopedic surgery. His work is widely referenced by clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize outcomes for patients with recurrent instability. Martinez’s dedication to rigorous, translational science continues to shape modern shoulder surgery, making him a key figure in the field.
