Dr. Zhou is affiliated with the Ladd Lab at Stanford Medicine, where she contributes to research in hand and upper limb orthopedics.2 Her work involves innovative approaches to understanding and treating joint dysfunction, particularly in the hand.

Publications

Some of her recent publications include:

1. "Is There a Critical Dorsal Lunate Facet Size in Distal Radius Fractures That Leads to Dorsal Carpal Subluxation? A Biomechanical Study of the Dorsal Critical Corner" (2025)
2. "Effect of Anatomic Variations in the Anterior Tibial Artery on Risk of Injury During Orthopaedic Knee Surgeries" (2024)
3. "Distal Metaphyseal Ulnar Shortening Osteotomy Fixation: A Biomechanical Analysis" (2024)1

Dr. Zhou's residency at Stanford Healthcare demonstrates her commitment to advancing her skills and knowledge in orthopedic surgery, with a particular focus on hand and upper limb specialties.
