MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DISC Sports & Spine Center (DISC) has strengthened its team of orthopaedic surgeons with the appointment of Dr. Derek T. Dee as a partner in its Marina del Rey location. Dr. Dee, who specializes in sports medicine and complex arthroscopic reconstructions of the knees, shoulders and hips, brings a double board certification and extensive research background to his new post. Today's news was announced by DISC founder and pioneering neurosurgeon, Dr. Robert S. Bray, Jr.

"We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Dee to our staff," said Dr. Bray. "His forward-looking approach to orthopaedics has been a game changer for many athletes, and this is exactly the philosophy we embrace here at DISC."

At the core of Dr. Dee's sports medicine practice is a commitment to diagnose and treat those whose symptoms have persisted, despite MRI findings or previous surgeries. Faced with even the most elusive injuries, he successfully returned numerous athletes to top form by combining his highly personalized approach with state-of-the-art techniques such as cartilage or meniscus transplant surgery, or PRP and stem cell enhancement.

He is a passionate researcher who has authored numerous presentations on his orthopaedic findings, including state-of-the-art techniques for meniscus transplant and anatomic double bundle ACL reconstruction, as well as an innovative approach to repairing posterolateral corner laxity of the knee, a troubling injury that often goes undiagnosed in patients.
