Major Research Interests

• 2005-present

  Clinical research interests include investigator initiated and industry sponsored research on primary and revision total joint arthropalsty of the hip and knee.

  Projects include: implant design and clinical performance, perioperative care, pain control, radiographic assessment, patient function and satisfaction and multidisciplinary protocols.

  Currently, I am principal investigator (PI) or co-investigator on three post-market, industry sponsored studies evaluating clinical performance of primary and revisiion systems. All study are currently established for a minimum of five years follow up, and recently extension to 10 years. For clinical follow up and radiographic review using valid and verified scoring systems.
