Biography

Hip dysplasia, a deformity in which the hip socket inadequately covers the ball side of the joint, frequently leads to early-onset hip arthritis in young adults (25-50 years of age), even after surgical correction to improve the congruity of the joint. My work uses 3D patient-specific computer models to identify individualized surgical corrections that may reduce the likelihood of developing hip arthritis or needing future hip replacement surgery.
