Research
I am an active member of the Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory that encompasses a diverse portfolio of clinical and basic science research. Clinical interests include characterization and treatment of bone deformities, 3D printing, biomechanics, and mechanisms of cruciate ligament disease in dogs. The basis for my MS degree project was focused on investigation of mechanically-induced signaling events involved in bone adaptation. Other research interests include development of instructional tools and assessment metrics for surgical training, resident recruitment, and clinic efficiency. We have several ongoing collaborations with Engineering (Biomedical, Mechanical and Industrial), Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, and Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine on the UW-Madison campus.
Responsibilities
I am a clinical track faculty member with a secondary emphasis in teaching. This includes clinical Orthopedic service at UW Veterinary Care and training of small animal orthopedic surgery to surgical residents, interns and veterinary students on the rotation. I am a lecturer and teach laboratories in Fundamentals of Surgery and Orthopedics to veterinary students, as well as mentor undergraduate, veterinary and graduate students. I serve as an American
College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) Diplomate as a Resident Advisor and editorial review board for several veterinary surgical journals.
Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include image planning and treatment of bone deformity, use of 3D printed bone models, guides and implants, external skeletal fixation, limb salvage approaches to bone tumors, and cranial cruciate ligament repair. See link to in-depth bone deformity case planning and execution.
