The foot and ankle research group at the University of Utah Orthopaedic Center is composed of a highly motivated and productive team of researchers, staff, and volunteers. Together, this group strives to conduct novel, high quality research in order to provide insight into common foot and ankle problems.

The group collaborates with several other skilled researchers, including an onsite bioengineering group specializing in:

  • Foot and ankle biomechanics
  • Health systems research using large-scale data
  • Cost analyses in foot and ankle surgeries
