About

Dr. Shih-Sheng Chang is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques. His primary focus is the biomechanical optimization of double-bundle ACL reconstruction, particularly how surgical variables like graft fixation angle and tension affect knee stability and function. In his highly cited 2015 study, which has garnered 17 citations, Dr. Chang used a sophisticated robotic system on cadaveric knees to compare the effects of different fixation parameters under anterior tibial loads. This work provides critical, evidence-based guidance for surgeons, helping to refine surgical protocols to better restore native knee kinematics and improve patient outcomes. By systematically investigating the interplay between graft tension and fixation angle, his research directly addresses common challenges in ACL surgery, such as graft failure and post-operative instability. Dr. Chang’s contributions are essential reading for sports medicine clinicians and researchers seeking to translate biomechanical principles into more predictable, successful surgical practices.
