Each of the Orthopaedic subspecialty divisions is extremely active in research. Projects range from retrospective reviews of patient databases to large, multi-center prospective trials. These clinical research efforts are fully supported by research assistants and statisticians.

  • American Journal of Sports Medicine
  • Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
  • The Journal of Arthroplasty
  • The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
