Surgery and sports medicine, from fingertip to knee to ankle.
Dr. Lee's practice spans upper extremity surgery, sports medicine, and advanced biologics, with particular depth in the procedures he helped pioneer and the hardware he helped design.
Most orthopedic surgeons specialize in one body region. Dr. Lee is double fellowship-trained in hand & upper extremity surgery and in sports medicine, a combination that lets him treat both the fine reconstructive work of the hand and the high-demand return-to-sport considerations of the shoulder, elbow, and knee.
He has also helped design several orthopedic implants now used by surgeons across the country, including plating systems for the hand and elbow and the anchor and internal-brace constructs used in ligament reconstruction.
Hand & Wrist Surgery
Carpal tunnel, distal radius fractures, scapholunate ligament injuries, basal joint reconstruction, and the full spectrum of hand and wrist surgery. Performed by a surgeon who helped design implants now used by his peers around the country.
Elbow Surgery
UCL reconstruction (Tommy John), distal biceps repair, LUCL reconstruction, and complex elbow trauma. Dr. Lee helped design the anchor and internal-brace constructs used in these procedures.
Shoulder Surgery
Rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthroscopy, clavicle fixation, and minimally invasive techniques for instability and labral injury. Same surgical philosophy as the hand: precise, anchor-based, fast back to activity.
Knee & Sports Medicine
ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, knee arthroscopy, and Achilles tendon repair. Dr. Lee has four peer-reviewed papers on Achilles repair and treats sports injuries with the urgency they deserve.
PRP & Advanced Treatments
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and peptide therapy, used when they're the right tool, not when they're a marketing line. Dr. Lee was among the first surgeons in NYC to perform PRP, including for upper extremity injuries. He performs 250+ PRP procedures annually today.

Patients often come in unsure whether their problem is hand, elbow, shoulder, or systemic. Dr. Lee's second-opinion process is designed for exactly that.
