I am a Cameroonian orthopaedic surgeon and researcher trained on three continents. My published work centres on the inflammation biology of osteoarthritis — the role of CC chemokines, hyaluronan-degrading enzymes, and most recently the lymphatic system in joint disease — alongside clinical and surgical research in sports medicine, foot-and-ankle surgery, and paediatric orthopaedics.

More recently, I've been working at the intersection of musculoskeletal medicine and population data: large meta-analyses on physical activity and mortality, on osteoporosis treatments, and on the rehabilitation technologies — VR, cryo- and thermotherapy — that are starting to change how we recover.

My residency covered trauma, joint, and spine surgery, which means most of what I write here is informed by something I've seen in clinic before I read about it in a paper. That bridge — between bedside and bench — is the one I care about most. Slow medicine, written down.
