My clinical interests involve all aspects of hip and knee care, from non-operative management to surgical interventions including: arthroscopy, joint preservation, and joint replacement.
My research interests focus on various topics related to the hip and knee, including risk factor identification and predictors of clinical outcome after individual joint replacement surgery. I also study health-care disparities and interventional cost-benefit analyses with the aim of improving the quality, efficiency, and economics of joint replacement surgery across the national healthcare system.
