Research Interests

The focus of my research is centered on biomechanics of joints and fracture fixation. Specific avenues of research include biomechanics of cranial cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques and meniscus treatments, models of tibial osteotomies, minimally invasive fracture fixation. Laboratory assessment modalities include biomechanical testing, kinematics and gait analysis.

Recent Publications

• Ex vivo contact mechanics and three-dimensional alignment of normal dog elbows after proximal ulnar rotational osteotomy.
• A biomechanical comparison of three hybrid linear-circular external fixator constructs.
