Research Projects

Research is currently focused in the areas of:

orthopedic oncology, e.g., chemotherapy and bone density; animal models of bone tumors and bone metastases,
joint replacement: e.g., therapeutic use of anabolic agents, fixation and stability of implants and bone-cement-implant interfaces
spine surgery: e.g., intervertebral disk replacement; 3-D spine motion
sports medicine: effects of loading and exercise on bone
orthotics
osteoporosis and bone biology: e.g., effects of antiresorptives, anaboloic agents, electromagnetic effects and mechanisms
upper extremity biomechanics
fracture fixation
growth plate: e.g., molecular controls; radiotherapy effects
