He recently participated in the AOSSM/ESKKA Traveling Fellowship to Europe. During his career, Dr. Brockmeier has been actively involved in basic science and clinical research with a focus on outcomes after arthroscopic shoulder surgery and shoulder reconstruction. Current research includes biomechanical and clinical studies evaluating the arthroscopic management of biceps tendon disorders of the shoulder, outcomes after SLAP repair and revision SLAP repair, and anatomic and clinical features of anatomic ACL reconstruction. He is the principle investigator currently on clinical trials evaluating scaffold augmentation of rotator cuff repair and stemless total shoulder arthroplasty. In addition, he has authored numerous textbook chapters, review articles, and peer-reviewed studies and has given local, regional, and national talks and presentations in these areas.
