Ferhan Asghar

Ferhan Asghar serves as Professor, Program Director, and Vice Chair for Academic Affairs in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, specializing in complex spinal disorders across cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions including degenerative disease, trauma, and deformity.

His academic foundation includes:

• Bachelor of Science in Biology from Johns Hopkins University (1995)
• MD from Baylor College of Medicine (1999)
• Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at University of Michigan
• Spine Fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
• APEX Leadership Program at USC Marshall School of Business (2021)
• American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Certification (2008-2019)

Research focuses on spinal biomechanics, surgical outcomes, and implant innovation, with emphasis on cervical arthrodesis analysis, instrumentation failure modes, and SPORT trial implications. Clinical interests span spine infections, deformities, and trauma management through evidence-based approaches.

Publication analysis reveals consistent spine surgery specialization, particularly cervical procedures and resident training methodologies. Key trends include radiographic assessment post-arthrodesis, spinal implant performance evaluation, and surgical education tool development across 13 peer-reviewed articles from 2004-2020.

No scientific awards were documented in source materials.

As Orthopaedic Residency Program Director, he develops curricula for residents and medical students. Currently Principal Investigator on two Medtronic grants: a 2022-2025 clinical data collection agreement and a 2023-2026 multi-center observational study of spinal implantable devices totaling $91,689.05.

Leadership roles in multicenter spine studies and residency program direction indicate active participation in collaborative research teams advancing spinal care standards, though specific lab structures aren't detailed in source materials.
