FRCS, MBChB

Investigator and Head, Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, BC Children's Hospital

My research interests range from studies involving paediatric hip, lower limbs, feet, trauma and bone tumours. I am specifically interested in advancing research around paediatric bone health and mobility. In addition to looking at the clinical outcomes, I am also interested in looking at the outcomes reported directly by the patients or caregivers of patients, specifically their quality of life. By studying these outcomes, I am aiming to look at the effectiveness of treatments I use in clinic and to explore ways to improve the quality of life of my patients. I also collaborate with biomechanical engineers to generate computerised models of the hip in order to imitate different deformities around the hip joint.
