Research & Awards
Clinical research is an essential part of patient care, as it forms the foundation of treatment decisions. Dr. Boyle has produced a large volume of clinical research, and is currently undertaking studies investigating a number of aspects of hip preservation surgery, rotator cuff repair surgery, trauma surgery and shoulder instability surgery.
