Research Interest for Referring Providers

Our group participates in a wide variety of clinical research studying areas including but not limited to: function and health related quality of life after treatment of skeletal disorders, limb preservation surgical techniques, and oncology. We also perform outcome analysis for different surgical devices and techniques in order to provide our patients with the most innovative orthopaedic treatments available. I am particularly interested in research involving hip and joint replacement techniques and devices.
