Research Interests

Dr. Cheung specializes in reconstructive procedures of the shoulder and elbow, including fractures, joint replacements, rotator cuff repair, cartilage and soft tissue injuries, and arthroscopic procedures. She completed her Orthopaedic Surgery residency at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. She completed her Fellowship in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery at the world renowned Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, MN.

Her research has focused on clinical outcomes following revision of total shoulder replacements, revision of total elbow replacements, anterior capsular stabilization for instability of the shoulder, and complications following shoulder and elbow reconstruction procedures. Her publications include those in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research. She has presented her work at regional and national orthpaedic surgery conferences, and has written various textbook chapters in the field of shoulder and elbow reconstruction. Her current research involves investigating localized osteoporosis in the upper extremity after arthroplasty.
