Research Activities

Welcome to the research portion of our website!

Research has always been important to me as an orthopedic surgeon. It is the way we advance our field, improve patient care, and push the boundaries of orthopaedic surgery while addressing the challenges of the future.

My clinical research interests include:

  • understanding patients expectations as they relate to joint replacement surgery
  • preventing infections in total joint arthroplasty
  • computer navigation applications and results in joint replacement
  • biomechanical research involving different types of implants and prostheses

Toward these ends, I collaborate with basic science and biomechanical research labs on the UCLA main campus and at the Orthopaedic Hospital Research Center (OHRC), and perform clinical research within the hospital.
