Beyond patient care, Dr. Lemme is deeply engaged in academic research and education. He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, podium and poster presentations, and book chapters. His work spans sports medicine outcomes, joint preservation, biomechanics, and surgical technique innovation.
He currently serves on the Research Committee for the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and is a peer reviewer for both The American Journal of Sports Medicine and Sports Health.
Dr. Lemme has returned to his home state with his wife and two children and is excited to serve the Rhode Island community.
