Professor Wang Jianquan: Hip, Knee, and Shoulder Sports Injury Specialist
Professor Wang Jianquan is a senior orthopedic surgeon, professor, doctoral supervisor, director of the Institute of Sports Medicine and Hip Surgery at Peking University Third Hospital. His clinical work focuses on arthroscopic and minimally invasive treatment of hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow injuries, with particular expertise in femoroacetabular impingement, hip labral injury, cruciate-ligament reconstruction, and return-to-sport planning.
International patients can learn more about the hospital, sports medicine services, and consultation preparation in our Peking University Third Hospital international patient guide.
Clinical and Academic Focus
- femoroacetabular impingement syndrome;
- hip labral tears;
- hip cartilage injury and snapping hip;
- anterior and posterior cruciate-ligament injury;
- meniscus injury;
- shoulder instability and rotator-cuff tears;
- elbow and other sports injuries;
- revision arthroscopy; and
- rehabilitation and safe return to sport.
Femoroacetabular Impingement
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome occurs when abnormal contact between the femoral head-neck region and the rim of the hip socket causes pain and limited motion. Symptoms often include groin pain during deep flexion, twisting, prolonged sitting, or sport.
Diagnosis requires a compatible history and examination together with imaging. Bone shape alone does not prove that surgery is needed because similar findings can occur in people without pain.
Initial treatment may include activity modification, targeted physiotherapy, and pain management. Arthroscopic surgery may be considered when symptoms persist and imaging shows a treatable structural problem without advanced arthritis.
Hip Labral Injury
The labrum helps seal and stabilize the hip joint. Tears may occur with impingement, dysplasia, trauma, instability, or degeneration.
Arthroscopic treatment may involve labral repair, reconstruction, or selective debridement together with correction of the underlying bone or stability problem. Treating the tear alone may not provide durable benefit if the cause remains unaddressed.
Knee Ligament and Meniscus Injury
Anterior or posterior cruciate-ligament injury can lead to instability, reduced confidence, and difficulty returning to pivoting sport. Treatment depends on age, activity goals, associated injuries, knee stability, and response to rehabilitation.
When reconstruction is appropriate, graft choice, tunnel placement, fixation, protection of the meniscus and cartilage, and structured rehabilitation all influence the result.
Meniscus preservation is preferred when a tear can be repaired. Removal may relieve symptoms in selected cases but can increase long-term joint loading.
Shoulder and Elbow Sports Injury
Arthroscopy may be used for recurrent shoulder instability, rotator-cuff tears, labral injuries, impingement, and selected elbow problems. The plan depends on bone loss, tissue quality, tear size, sport, occupation, and prior surgery.
Revision Arthroscopy
Persistent symptoms after previous surgery can result from an incorrect original diagnosis, incomplete correction, recurrent injury, scar tissue, implant problems, instability, cartilage damage, or inadequate rehabilitation.
Revision surgery should follow careful review of previous operative notes, imaging, rehabilitation, and current functional goals. A second operation is not automatically the best solution.
Return to Sport
Return to sport should be based on healing, strength, range of motion, movement quality, sport-specific testing, confidence, and reinjury risk rather than time alone.
Professor Wang has extensive experience supporting elite athletes, but treatment principles should be adapted to each patient’s health, occupation, and realistic goals.
Who May Consider a Consultation?
- patients with persistent hip or groin pain during activity;
- patients with suspected femoroacetabular impingement or labral injury;
- athletes with ACL, PCL, or complex meniscus injury;
- patients with recurrent shoulder instability or a rotator-cuff tear;
- patients whose symptoms continue after arthroscopy;
- patients comparing rehabilitation and surgical treatment;
- patients planning a return to high-demand sport; or
- patients seeking a second opinion before joint-preserving surgery.
Medical Records to Prepare
- a concise injury and symptom timeline;
- X-rays, MRI, CT, or ultrasound in original DICOM format;
- reports from previous injections, surgery, or rehabilitation;
- operative photographs or videos when available;
- current range-of-motion, strength, and functional test results;
- sport, occupation, and performance goals;
- a list of treatments tried and their effect;
- short movement or sport videos when relevant and safe; and
- a clear list of questions about surgery, recovery, and return to sport.
Planning an International Consultation
A locked joint, major new trauma, deformity, inability to bear weight, fever with a swollen joint, or sudden loss of circulation or sensation requires urgent local assessment.
Stable patients should confirm whether original imaging can be reviewed. Remote medical-record review requires physician authorization. Final surgical eligibility and rehabilitation planning usually require an in-person examination.
How CMCS Can Assist
CMCS – China Medical Concierge Shanghai is an independent medical concierge and health management company, not a hospital. We assist international patients and athletes with organizing and translating orthopedic records, identifying an appropriate specialist, requesting appointment availability, arranging interpretation, and planning medical travel in China.
Access to Professor Wang, remote review, arthroscopy, or a particular technique is subject to doctor and hospital approval. CMCS does not guarantee appointments, surgical eligibility, return-to-sport timelines, or clinical outcomes.
