Jaimo Ahn

Jaimo Ahn, M.D., Ph.D., is a Professor and Gehring Professor & Associate Chair in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Michigan Medical School. His research integrates bioengineering principles with musculoskeletal care, focusing on skeletal tissue formation and regeneration, surgical decision-making, and geriatric fracture care. He actively engages in health services research, clinical trials, and global health initiatives.

• Education:
  • B.S., Stanford University
  • M.D. & Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania

His research interests span Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, Tissue Engineering, Surgical Education, and Health Equity in musculoskeletal care. Recent work explores fracture healing mechanisms, orthopedic implant design, and disparities in clinical trial participation.

Key article trends include Geriatric Trauma, Molecular Bone Biology (e.g., CD47 signaling), Imaging Techniques for fracture assessment, and Health Equity in orthopedic care. He leads large-scale clinical studies such as the HEALTH Trial and investigates perioperative challenges in hip fractures and anticoagulant management.

Dr. Ahn contributes to national orthopedic trauma education standards and surgical volume benchmarks for fellowships. His work emphasizes patient-centered outcomes, clinical guidelines, and improving care for marginalized populations including transgender individuals and persons with disabilities.
