PROJECTS

  • Reconstruction of the Ulnar Coronoid Process (2012)
    This modeling study determined that the contralateral ulnar coronoid process can be used to determine morphology and alignment to assist with surgical planning in the event of an elbow fracture. This work was supported by the ECE Charitable Foundation.
