We are a leading center for sports medicine education and research. We host an Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellow each year, and we collaborate with basic science and clinical faculty in order to conduct high quality research.
Our research focus is knee and shoulder clinical outcomes and basic science research. Dr. Cannon participates in a large, multi-center trial on Carticel (Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation), collaborating with Jeffery Lotz, PhD in the Biomechanics Laboratory to test new innovative devices and procedures, compile documentation on knee and shoulder injuries, and perform outcome studies based on treatment protocols.
