Highlights of Duke's state-of-the-art orthopaedic care include the pioneering of a highly successful operation for younger patients with degenerative hip disease, innovative limb salvage techniques for bone cancer patients, and the use of regional anesthesia during selected surgical procedures. Within several highly specialized laboratories, Duke orthopaedic researchers work to advance the understanding of body structure and dynamics, improve surgical procedures, and create promising new synthetic and biological materials for use in joint repairs.
