1. Smart Implant Technology: Development of emerging new technology using miniaturized chip technology in pressure-based knee and hip balancing and alignment surgical instrumentation. This technology aims at creating the first wave of smart implants, which should provide critical in-vivo clinical outcomes data for registries and future implant designs.

2. Minimally Invasive Surgery: Development and refinement of novel surgical approaches to hip and knee arthroplasty surgery: Northern Approach to the hip, modified subvastus approach to the knee, MIS mini posterior approach to the hip.

3. Computer Assisted Navigation: Development and clinical implementation and validation of non-invasive Computer Assisted Surgery of the knee and the hip.
