A former assistant team physician for the Baltimore Orioles, Dr. Koman’s interest in orthopaedic sports medicine stems from his experiences as a Division I college athlete. “Sports medicine was a natural choice for me. It combines my interest in orthopaedic medicine and love of sports perfectly,” he explains. Dr. Koman's expertise is in the field of arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder.
Following a residency in orthopaedic surgery at Wayne State University/the Detroit Medical Center at Grace Hospital, Dr. Koman completed a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Virginia. He joined OrthoMaryland in 2001.
Dr. Koman has co-authored research papers for several prestigious medical journals, including the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. In 2003, he co-wrote a chapter review for the second edition of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine: Principles and Practice.
Dr. Koman works with local collegiate and high school sports teams and has appeared as a sports medicine and injury expert on various sports radio talk shows.
Dr. Koman resides in Baltimore with his wife and three children. In his spare time, he builds radio-controlled airplanes, a hobby that, much like his profession, requires skill, precision, patience and craftsmanship. He also enjoys participating in anything fitness-related, especially golf, tennis and weightlifting.
