"Joints damaged by prostheses represent complications that can result in extremely painful conditions and often necessitate surgical re-intervention to resolve these issues. This is my passion and the primary focus of my clinical research and recent professional activities. Specializing in resolving complications associated with unsuccessful joint replacements is my area of expertise."
