SummaryMy research efforts focus on both joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee and limb salvage surgery for bone and soft tissue tumors. I am also interested in way of improving the process of care delivery to make health care both more affordable and safer.
I have been very interested in the use of computer-assisted navigation to improve surgical technique in knee replacement surgery and have done original research on this topic as detailed below. My research is expanding to the next advancement in computer assisted navigation: robotically assisted surgery in partial knee replacements.
My practice as an orthopedic oncologist (tumor surgeon) is one of the most rewarding and most challenging aspects of my practice. We need continued research into how to better perform limb salvage surgery on patients with a focus on making the reconstructions we perform last for decades and function well.
We must learn how to improve our health care processes. We strive to provide the best value for our patients: the highest quality of care and the lowest cost. I have chaired our recent Lean project to reduce waste in our total joint program.
