Earth?...or a 3D reconstructed uCT image?
Dr. Peter Yang and his research team had their 3D reconstructed uCT image selected as a cover in the journal of Tissue Engineering, Part A, September issue!
This 3D reconstructed uCT image shows their injectable biodegradable hydrogel aided robust bone formation in a circular critical size cranial defect in rodents. Its coincidental similarity to the Space view of Earth is a value-add to this already amazingly beautiful image!

CLINICS
Our Physicians provide compassionate and comprehensive care to our patients throughout their experiences. We focus on patient care in each of these orthopaedic subspecialties at our various clincal locations:
RESIDENCY
The goal of the orthopaedic residency program at Stanford is to produce orthopaedic surgeons who are technically competent, interested in the overall well-being of their patients, and knowledgeable of the literature in the field of orthopaedic surgery.
In addition, we hope to stimulate interest in solving clinical and basic science problems in the field of orthopaedic surgery and have our residents become leaders in the field. To accomplish this, Resident learning is stimulated by contact with patients and with questions from attending faculty members.
