Details about researcher: Nicholas DePhillipo

CV

Nicholas N. DePhillipo is a PhD student studying the effects of meniscal ramp lesions in ACL injured knees—evaluating the anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical outcomes. 

He studied athletic training at Rowan University between 2009 to 2013, and completed his Master’s degree in kinesiology and rehabilitation science at the University of Hawaii in 2015. As a master’s student he worked on a project titled: “Prospective Functional Performance Testing and Lower Extremity Injury Incidence in Adolescent Athletes”.

Nicholas has previously worked as an athletic trainer in high school and collegiate sports and is currently working as an athletic trainer in orthopaedic surgery at The Steadman Clinic.
