About
Pascal Boileau is a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose pioneering work has fundamentally reshaped shoulder surgery. His primary research areas focus on shoulder instability, rotator cuff pathology, and advanced arthroscopic techniques, with a particular emphasis on complex acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations and glenohumeral instability. Boileau’s major contributions include the development and refinement of the “acromioclavicular fixation first” technique, which prioritizes AC ligament reconstruction before coracoclavicular (CC) tunnel placement to enhance reduction stability and prevent postoperative loss of alignment. His 2025 pilot study on whole-shoulder girdle models demonstrated that this sequential approach, combined with optimized AC construct design, significantly improves biomechanical outcomes—a finding that challenges conventional surgical sequencing. With over 1,000 citations across his body of work, Boileau’s research has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based protocols for shoulder reconstruction. He is also celebrated for his role in popularizing the “Boileau classification” of glenoid bone loss and for his leadership in international shoulder societies. A prolific educator, he has authored numerous landmark papers and textbook chapters, making him an indispensable resource for trainees and surgeons seeking to master the nuances of shoulder repair.
