Research Description

My research has concentrated on the pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and perioperative factors related to thromboembolism following total hip replacement. I have also studied the clinical results and complications of THR.

Clinical Trials

• The Genetic Factor: Identifying Patients at High Risk for Developing Pulmonary Embolism (PE) After Orthopedic Surgery (Upper Extremity, Spine, THR, TKR) Using A Molecular Screening Test
