I devised an activity scale, which is really quite important in assessing levels of improvement and severity of the patient’s condition, pre- and postop. My research activity has involved clinical reports of hip and knee techniques in particular cases and assessment of levels of quality improvement. They assist and perform at my surgery with supervision. These house staff participates in my surgeries as well as patient visits while in hospital and in an outpatient setting.

I teach residents, fellows and medical students. I am a fulltime professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and department head of Orthopaedics at Buffalo General Hospital. My specialty helps diminish patients’ pain, increases mobility, and generally improves the patient’s quality of life. I also handle other orthopaedists’ complications. In addition, I participate in revision or re-do of hip and knee replacements. Osteotomies are operations which alter the position of the joint surfaces with respect to the bone and do so to “dodge” the bad area and use the smooth, better areas. As well I do osteotomies of mostly knees, but occasionally hips. My clinical practice consists of hip and knee replacement surgery, both primary and revision or re-do of such cases.
