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.
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.
In his spare time, Dr. Koman 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.
