Sabrina Strickland is board-certified in Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS); where she specializes in surgery of the knee and shoulder. Currently; Dr. Strickland is an Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at HSS and Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Strickland is a co-founder along with colleague Dr. Beth Shubin Stein of the HSS Patellofemoral Center. This center was created to addresses the current lack of formalized research into patellofemoral disorders; treatments and outcomes. The center focuses on clinical outcome studies that evaluate current surgical techniques and improve patient outcomes as well as develop new ones. A comprehensive approach is taken to investigating patient outcomes in a variety of patellofemoral disorders and treatment procedures. By utilizing a combination of prospective; retrospective; and biomechanical studies; our group assesses the efficacy of current procedures and improves upon them to develop even better treatment options. The Patellofemoral Center is also focused on conducting collaborative research efforts with other institutions in the form of multi-center studies; in order to maximize the quality and power of patellofemoral patient data available. The comprehensive research efforts of the Patellofemoral Center play a critical role in improving the quality of life of the many patients suffering from knee pain and instability.
