I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and I serve clinically as an orthopedic surgeon at the UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. My clinical practice focuses on the management of sports injuries in adolescent and young adult patients with a particular focus on hip disorders in this young, active population. I am also an active clinician-scientist, with 20% of my effort devoted to research endeavors. My research focuses on optimizing the care of young patients with common hip disorders, including femoroacetabular impingement, hip instability/dysplasia, and hip cartilage injuries. My research focuses both on clinical and radiographic outcomes as well as translative studies involving biplane radiography for the evaluation of femoroacetabular kinematics and biomechanics.
