Peter J. Millett, MD, MSc

Dr. Peter Millett Dr. Millett is an Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Steadman Clinic and is recognized for many innovative shoulder techniques and their scientific validation through clinical and basic science work. This includes double-row rotator cuff repair, joint preserving treatments for OA, arthroscopic treatment for snapping scapula syndrome, instability procedures, and new shoulder replacement techniques. He has ongoing biomechanical studies on the kinematics and loading of the shoulder after various procedures such as joint preserving surgery for shoulder osteoarthritis, shoulder arthroplasty, and rotator cuff repair. Dr. Millett and his team of researchers have ongoing studies on shoulder biomechanics for new repair techniques, the use of biologics to augment healing in shoulder disorders, and clinical outcomes. Dr. Millett started the Harvard Center for Musculoskeletal Proteomics Research, a multidisciplinary group of researchers with an interest in using proteomics to study musculoskeletal disease. He served as Director of this collaborative effort with the Harvard Partners Genomics Center in Cambridge. He is now on the scientific advisory board of the Steadman Philippon Research Institute and several other for-profit and not-for-profit entities in the orthopaedic, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal areas.
