Raymond Chou, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Chou is a hand and upper extremity physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. He is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Stanford University School of Medicine.
He provides expert care for patients who require non-operative treatment for musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions affecting the shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand. For each patient, he develops a personalized, comprehensive, and compassionate care plan designed to achieve the best possible health and quality of life.
Among the conditions he manages are arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff disease, and tennis elbow. He excels at the use of ultrasound for diagnosis and evaluation. He also uses ultrasound to precisely guide treatments delivered with injections and nerve blocks.
Dr. Chou’s expertise includes electromyography (EMG) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). He has conducted research into the effects of electrical stimulation to improve upper extremity neurologic function in cervical spinal cord injury patients.
He has published the findings of his research in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Spinal Cord, and other journals. He has co-authored chapters in the textbooks Handbook of Clinical Neurology and Basics of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.
Dr. Chou has addressed his peers in presentations at meetings of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the Association of Academic Physiatrists. Topics include compressive neuropathies from prolonged hospitalization during the COVID-19 pandemic, development of a virtual ultrasound curriculum for residents, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and technology accessibility for stroke patients with limited upper extremity function.
He has earned honors from Harvard Medical School/Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and Northwestern University. He is a member of the American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Association of Academic Physiatrists, and American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
Dr. Chou volunteers his time and expertise to help the members of his community optimize their musculoskeletal health. -
Constance Chu, MD
Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery (Sports Medicine)
BioDr. Constance R. Chu is Professor and Vice Chair Research, in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University. She is also Director of the Joint Preservation Center and Chief of Sports Medicine at the VA Palo Alto. Previously, she was the Albert Ferguson Endowed Chair and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. She is a clinician-scientist who is both principal investigator of several projects funded by the National Institutes of Health and who has been recognized as a Castle-Connelly/US News and World Report “Top Doctor” in Orthopedic Surgery as well as on Becker’s list of Top Knee Surgeons in the United States. Her clinical practice focuses on the knee: primarily restoration and reconstruction of the ACL, menisci and cartilage. She graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical School.
As Director of the multi-disciplinary Joint Preservation Center structured to seamlessly integrate the latest advances in biologics, mechanics, and imaging with comprehensive patient centered musculoskeletal and orthopedic care, Dr. Chu aims to develop a new model for health care delivery, research and education with an emphasis on health promotion and prevention. Cornerstones of this program include teamwork and a focus on personalized medicine. A central goal is to transform the clinical approach to osteoarthritis from palliation to prevention. In addition to optimizing clinical operations, outstanding research is critical to developing more effective new treatments. Towards this end, Dr. Chu is leading innovative translational research from bench to bedside in three main areas: quantitative imaging and biomarker development for early diagnosis and staging of joint and cartilage injury and degeneration; cartilage tissue engineering and stem cell based cartilage repair; and molecular and biological therapies for joint restoration and joint rejuvenation. Her research efforts have led to more than 30 professional awards and honors to include a Kappa Delta Award, considered to be the highest research honor in Orthopedic Surgery.
Dr. Chu also regularly holds leadership and committee positions in major professional organizations such as the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American Orthopedic Association (AOA). In her subspecialty of Orthopedic Sports Medicine, she is a past President of the Forum Sports Focus Group, a member of the Herodicus Society of leaders in Sports Medicine, and immediate past Chair of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) Research Council. She is alumnus of the AOA American, British, Canadian (ABC) and the AOSSM Traveling Fellowships.
