Scientific Focus
Research Interests
1. Bone Graft substitutes promise better treatment for orthopaedic problems. The current and future substitutes are subject of ongoing research.
2. Calcium phosphate bone cement is a bone substitute with mechanical properties similar to cancellous bone.
3. Congenital anomalies of the upper limb pose challenging treatment dilemmas, with the goal of both functional and cosmetic improvement.
4. Spinal cord injured patients benefit from tendon transfers to restore function, however small, in the paralyzed limb.
5. The malunited wrist fracture poses a complex treatment problem, but in selected cases benefits from reconstructive surgery.
