Clinical Research
Less than 5% of orthopaedic physicians actually conduct research. But by committing to clinical research, generations to come will reap the benefits.
Today, we are developing orthopaedic data collection systems that will allow us follow patients from initial contact and throughout the years, so we are able to document outcomes that will help lead to technique or procedural advances that in the past were not possible.
Clinical research is obtained by working directly with the patient to understand outcomes over a period of time and to establish guidelines for the most effective treatment options. Data collected generates a database for comparative analysis and lets us document outcomes from various treatments, rehabilitation and more.
Biomechanical Engineering
Biomechanical engineering is helping us to understand how the body works.. By understanding biomechanical engineering as it is related to movement in sports or work conditions, physicians and therapists are in a better position to make modifications to alter the outcome, thus preventing injuries or re-injuries.
Tissue Regeneration
Building on almost two decades of study, we are exploring the basic science and clinical concepts having an impact on tissue engineering for bone and cartilage repair. Unique surgical procedures including Microfracture, scaffolds and cytokines to advance cell regeneration and other areas may one day allow the body to replace cartilage and alleviate pain and the need for surgery.
