Research Interests Biomaterials and biomechanics related to toal hip and knee replacement. Research Summary Biomaterials and biomechanics related to total joint arthroplasty (hip and knee replacement). Current research, in
collaboration with Lisa Pruitt, Ph. D., involves athe study of in vivo degradation and sterilization induced effects on
polymethylmethacrylate bone cement. Other ares of interest include impact biomechanics during insertion of press fit acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty, polyethylene wear in total joint replacement, and the clinical evaluation of hip and knee implants.
