The Iowa members of ANCHOR had the opportunity to travel to Ottawa to participate in the in the Annual ANCHOR meeting to discuss research and education related to the practice of hip preservation surgery.

We are happy to be launching a new website to introduce our work to the University community and beyond. We hope that visitors find this new site to provide a good overview of the types of work that are being done by the individuals working in the Goetz Orthopedic Biomechanics Lab!

This study aims to quantify bone remodeling approximately 5 years after in-situ pinning of the post-SCFE hip and any associated changes in hip contact stress. Identifying how post-SCFE hips remodel and change contact mechanics would provide guidance for surgeons regarding when to intervene with secondary procedures needed to correct residual or remodeled deformity.
