Research

Our primary research revolves around advancing arthroplasty surgery, a commonly used treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis. We emphasize integrating cutting-edge technology, such as biomechanics tools and advanced imaging, into clinical decision-making for optimal patient outcomes. Our current focus involves translating laboratory-based biomechanics protocols into clinical environments, promoting efficiency, collaboration, and the immediate application of results in treatment strategy.
