Research emphasizes hip preservation techniques, long-term arthroplasty outcomes, and innovative recovery protocols. His work integrates psychological interventions and digital health tools to optimize patient function, particularly during healthcare disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. Current investigations focus on reducing opioid dependence post-arthroplasty and developing precision assessment methods for ACL injuries.

Recent publications (2021-2025) demonstrate consistent contributions to hip arthroplasty literature, with emerging emphasis on behavioral health integration in orthopaedic care. Key trends include adolescent-specific outcome measures, mobile health applications for post-operative monitoring, and psychological factor analysis in surgical recovery.
