A major focus of my research has been the hip-spine interaction and its implications for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Through a combination of prospective cohort studies, motion analysis, and biomechanical modeling, I have demonstrated how individual differences in anatomy and spinopelvic alignment during movements influences implant positioning, dislocation risk, and patient-reported outcomes. This work has led to the development of a patient-specific model for acetabular cup orientation that integrates both coronal and sagittal alignment targets.
