About
Dr. Armin Runer is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the biomechanics of shoulder and knee instability, with a particular focus on improving surgical outcomes for athletes. His most influential contribution is a landmark 2015 study on reverse Hill-Sachs lesions, which has garnered 67 citations. In this work, Dr. Runer established that both the size and specific localization of these bony defects are critical determinants of engagement with the glenoid rim, providing surgeons with essential guidelines for predicting recurrent posterior shoulder instability and planning effective interventions. More recently, he has advanced the understanding of complex knee injuries, notably through a 2023 biomechanical study examining the effect of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) in ACL-reconstructed knees with partial medial meniscectomy. By demonstrating how LET can mitigate the increased laxity caused by meniscal loss, this research offers a crucial biomechanical rationale for combined surgical procedures. Through these high-impact studies, Dr. Runer has established himself as a key figure in translating complex joint mechanics into actionable clinical strategies, directly influencing how surgeons approach instability in both the shoulder and knee.
