About

Mohamed Alkoheji is an orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on the biomechanics and surgical reconstruction of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), a critical area for understanding shoulder instability following high-grade injuries. His major contributions center on characterizing the ligamentous and capsular restraints that govern joint laxity, as demonstrated in his most-cited paper, "Ligamentous and capsular restraints to anterior-posterior and superior-inferior laxity of the acromioclavicular joint: a biomechanical study" (2020, 17 citations). This foundational work provides essential insights into the native stabilizing structures of the ACJ. Building on this, Alkoheji’s 2021 study, "Acromioclavicular joint reconstruction implants have differing ability to restore horizontal and vertical plane stability" (6 citations), directly addresses a pressing clinical challenge: the persistent instability and symptoms that occur when horizontal plane stability is not adequately restored. By systematically evaluating the ability of current implant methods to replicate native joint stability, his research offers critical guidance for improving surgical outcomes. Though early in his career, Alkoheji’s work is already shaping the conversation around ACJ reconstruction, highlighting the importance of addressing both vertical and horizontal plane stability for better patient care.
