About
Peter J. Millett is a prominent orthopaedic surgeon-scientist whose research centers on shoulder biomechanics, instability, and reconstructive surgery. His work has made meaningful contributions to our understanding of complex shoulder pathologies, particularly in the areas of rotator cuff repair, glenohumeral instability, and surgical technique optimization. Millett's research on Superior Capsule Reconstruction (SCR) has advanced the field by demonstrating, through rigorous robotic shoulder modeling, that dermal allografts can partially restore glenohumeral stability in patients with massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears — a finding that has shaped clinical decision-making for surgeons facing these challenging cases. His biomechanical investigations into posterior shoulder instability have addressed a critical gap in the literature, developing more anatomically accurate models that better reflect real clinical presentations, including the role of posterior glenoid bone loss. Additionally, his work refining the Latarjet procedure — specifically evaluating optimal coracoid graft positioning — offers surgeons practical, evidence-based guidance for improving outcomes in anterior instability cases. With publications accumulating citations across a growing body of work, Millett represents a bridge between laboratory science and clinical application, helping translate biomechanical insights into improved surgical strategies for patients with complex shoulder conditions.
