With greater than fifteen years of clinical experience, he has lectured nationally and published peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on the treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy, shoulder arthritis, massive rotator cuff tears, and proximal humerus fractures.
Special Interests
His current interests include management of rotator cuff tears, rotator cuff arthropathy, proximal humerus fractures, shoulder arthritis in the young patient, elbow arthritis, elbow trauma, and upper extremity peripheral nerve compression. He is an active member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Society (ASES), Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA), and a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and American College of Surgeons (ACS). During his career, Dr. Bohsali has served on multiple committees for the AAOS and the ASES with recent work resulting in the publication of appropriate use criteria (AUC) for shoulder arthroplasty in the setting of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. He is a member of the AAOS Evidence Based Quality and Value (EBQV) Committee, and the ASES Proximal Humerus Fracture Multicenter taskforce and Membership committees.
Dr. Bohsali serves as chairman of the Department of Surgery at Baptist Beaches Hospital. He volunteers as a board examiner for the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, and as a peer reviewer and/or editorial board member for several well-respected orthopaedic journals. Dr. Bohsali recently completed work as a principal investigator an IRB-approved study regarding surgical management of partial rotator cuff tears with a novel bio-inductive implant. With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Bohsali’s reconstructive and arthroscopy skills enable his patients to receive advanced orthopedic care with the goals of pain relief, restored function, and improved quality of life.
“As a native Floridian and graduate of the University Florida College of Medicine, it was a primary goal of mine to return home to contribute to the local community, and in the process have developed deep roots in the greater Jacksonville area. When I am not working, I enjoy writing, weightlifting, running, snowboarding, and playing sports with my children.” – Dr. Kamal I. Bohsali
“I take an individualized and compassionate approach when caring for my patients. Modern-day orthopaedics requires that the surgeon demonstrates comprehensive skills regarding the administration of fiscally responsible and quality medical care. Communication and education are of utmost importance to provide my patients with the ability to make informed decisions regarding the treatment of an orthopaedic problem. I believe that the fundamental relationship between the surgeon and the patient be based on trust, mutual understanding, and transparency.” – Dr. Kamal I. Bohsali
“I believe in meeting patients’ needs through thorough evaluation and treatment designed to help them achieve an active, pain-free lifestyle.” – Dr. Kamal I. Bohsali.
