He performs surgery to remove the tumor fom the limb and pelvis, and rebuild them using techniques tailored for each individual patient. Dr. Yang is also interested in treating metastatic bony lesions originating from other parts of the body.</p>
<p>Dr. Yang has a strong interest in the research of musculoskeletal tumors. He has been studying the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma and the genetic profile of the tumors as comparison to its normal counterpart tissues.&nbsp; He has also studied the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in osteosarcoma and related signaling pathways, as well as novel strategies to overcome it in collaboration with the pediatric sarcoma teams.</p>

Then he went on to pursue a Spinal Surgery Fellowship at NYU/Hospital for Joint Diseases.</p>
<p>Dr. Gomez&rsquo; premier training enables him to provide superior care to children, adolescents and adults undergoing spinal surgery with the proficiency of a spine surgeon and the perspective of a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon.&nbsp; He has trained and applied cutting edge growth friendly techniques for young children with scoliosis such as &ldquo;MAGEC&rdquo; which is a magnetic growing rod that allows for growth of young children with early onset scoliosis avoiding repeat surgical procedures. He has significant interest in less invasive techniques such a scoliosis casting as well as the most complex deformity correction osteotomies for scoliosis both in children and adults. He treats a wide array of musculoskeletal pathology with special interest in the treatment of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Early Onset, Congenital and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis</li>
<li>Spondylolisthesis</li>
<li>Pediatric Cervical Spine Pathology</li>
<li>Cerebral Palsy</li>
<li>Hip Dysplasia</li>
<li>Pediatric Fractures and Trauma</li>
</ul>
<p>Dr. Gomez has also volunteered to perform complex surgeries in developing countries. He worked with &ldquo;Butterfly Foundation&rdquo; in Dominican Republic and with &ldquo;Healing the Children&rdquo; in Colombia providing orthopedic surgical care and training to local orthopaedists. Being a native Spanish speaker, he is particularly attuned to the different cultural backgrounds of the city of New York.
