The primary focus of the research group is the evaluation of process of care and outcomes of total joint arthroplasty. Ongoing and prospective studies are within the realm of the following research themes:
• Impact of rehabilitation post-total joint arthroplasty
• Variations in regional rehabilitation services following total joint arthroplasty
• Epidemiology of primary and revision arthroplasty
• Determinants and impact of surgical volume on the outcomes of total joint arthroplasty; patient expectations regarding revision hip arthroplasty
• Prospective randomized controlled trial of cemented vs. hybrid total hip arthroplasty
• Prospective randomized controlled trial of PCL retaining vs. sacrificing total knee arthroplasty
• Evaluations of the psychometric properties of hip rating systems
• Determinants of outcomes following revision hip arthroplasty
• Determinants of discharge destination post-total joint arthroplasty
