About
Dr. Neil K. Bakshi is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on shoulder biomechanics and joint stability, with a particular focus on glenohumeral pathology. His most cited study, "Does Repair of a Hill-Sachs Defect Increase Stability at the Glenohumeral Joint?" (2016), addresses a critical gap in understanding how osteoallograft repair of Hill-Sachs lesions—a common bone defect following shoulder dislocation—affects joint stability. By comparing the impact of a 25% Hill-Sachs lesion against a perfect osteoallograft repair, Dr. Bakshi’s research provides foundational insights into surgical outcomes, demonstrating how graft fit can influence glenohumeral translations under applied force. This work, cited 6 times, has informed clinical practices for treating recurrent shoulder instability, particularly in athletes and active patients. Dr. Bakshi’s contributions bridge biomechanical engineering and orthopedic surgery, offering evidence-based guidance for optimizing repair techniques. His research is a valuable resource for students and clinicians exploring joint preservation and post-traumatic shoulder function, highlighting the nuanced interplay between bone defects and surgical intervention.
