The OTS is actively involved in many research areas related to orthopaedic trauma, including clinical outcomes research, laboratory and bench research, and biomechanical studies. Our research includes many emerging - and exciting - areas of importance in orthopaedic trauma, including bone healing pathways, cartilage injury and repair, and fracture fixation methods. Our research initiatives are facilitated with state-of-the-art resources at Hospital for Special Surgery and are coordinated by Joseph M. Lane, MD, Director of OTS Research.
