2003-2006	Design Performance of FDA approved Total Ankle Replacement (Eclipse Total Ankle) Kinetikos Medical, Inc Site PI and Lead Designer (unknown sum) Major goal of this multicenter study was to define appropriate indications, approaches, and design applications of a new third generation total ankle arthroplasty for clinical use.
2005-2007	In Vitro Evaluation of Simulated Lateral Process Fractures of the Talus and their Relationship to Stability of the Ankle and Subtalar Joint RIH Orthopaedic Foundation (estimate $15,000) Site PI (estimate $15,000) Multi-phased study assessing the impact of ligament discontinuity to both the ankle and the subtalar joint following simulated fracture of the lateral talar process in a cadaveric model.
2006-2007	A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-Center, Human Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of GEM OS1 Bone Graft Compared to Autologous Bone Graft as a Bone Regeneration Device Biomimetic Therapeutics, Inc PI and Lead Investigator ($288,927) This was a Level I evidence feasibility trial designed as a pilot to compare the use of a new orthobiologic (platelet derived growth factor) to the historical gold standard (autogenous host bone) as a means of maximizing bony fusion rates while minimizing perioperative risk during foot and ankle arthrodesis surgery.
2007-2011	A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-Center Pivotal Human Clinical Feasibility Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Clinical Utility of GEM OSI Compared to Autologous Bone Graft as a Bone Regeneration Device in Foot and Ankle Fusion Biomimetic Therapeutics, Inc PI and Lead Investigator ($25,000,000) Level I FDA approved North American Feasibility Trial comparing Augment (rhPDGF-BB/β-TCP) to autologous bone graft during foot and ankle fusion, representing, to our knowledge, the largest scientific investigation ever performed in the field of foot and ankle surgery to date (37 sites across North America).
2007-2013	Biomechanical Evaluation of Mini-fragment, Small-fragment, and Locked Fibular Plating for Fibular Shaft Fractures Orthopaedic Trauma Association & Federation of Orthopaedic Trauma PI ($5,000; $20,000) Biomechanical study assessing optimization of hardware fixation for fibular fracture patterns. Designed in response to several recent trend towards lower profile and locked hardware use during foot and ankle surgery, this study aimed to elucidate any potential biomechanical tradeoffs when attempting to decrease soft tissue problems by employing these newer fixation methods.
2008-2009	A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-Center, Saline Controlled, Prospective Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Carticept’s Agilus (Hyaluronic Acid) for The Treatment of Ankle Osteoarthritis Carticept Medical Inc. Site PI ($159,562) A twenty-center prospective randomized clinical trial on the use of Agilus injection in management of ankle arthritis, this study was intended to follow recently accrued data supporting similar conservative management of knee arthritis as the first of its kind to prospectively evaluate the impact of viscosupplementation treatment for the ankle. Study was prematurely terminated after initial patient enrollment.
2010-2011	Three Dimensional Non-Invasive Kinematic Analysis of the Transverse Tarsal Joint and Determination of the Role of the Plantar Fascia on the Transverse Tarsal Locking Mechanism American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Site PI ($19,925) Characterization of the 3D kinematics involving the midfoot articulations of the human foot, meant to improve our understanding of an historically poorly studied region of anatomy which is still frequently responsible for the symptomatology associated with pathologic flatfoot (low arch) and cavus (high arch) deformity.
2011-2013	Effect of Medial and Lateral Calcaneal Displacement Osteotomy on Tarsal Tunnel Volume and the Tarsal Canal. RIH Orthopaedic Foundation (estimate $25,000) Site PI (estimate $25,000) Cadaveric study utilizing MRI assessment of the tarsal canal in both the pre- and post-osteotomy state to compare the impact of various degrees, angles, and directions of calcaneal osteotomy and associated tuber shift on adjacent tarsal tunnel anatomy. Ultimate goal to define (and thus avoid) the perioperative risk factors related to onset of acute tarsal tunnel syndrome following corrective hindfoot osteotomy.
2011-2017	Multicenter Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial comparing Augment Injectable versus ABG in a Hindfoot Fusion Model Biomimetic Therapeutics, Inc PI and Lead Investigator ($25,000) Follow-up Level I, controlled investigation after initial pivotal orthobiologic trial to assess the use of an injectable form of Augment bone graft using a similar foot and ankle fusion model. Powered and designed to determine if this less invasive approach can result in an equally effective healing response as compared to both control as well as former patient group populations.
2012-2014	Patient Outcomes of Standard 3.5 mm versus smaller 2.4mm Fixation for Supination External Rotation Fibula Fractures RIH Orthopedic Foundation Site PI ($15,000) Multi-surgeon, prospectiveinvestigation comparing the risk-benefit and outcomes of using smaller versus traditionally larger size hardware for intraoperative fixation of rotational ankle fractures. A follow-up clinical investigation emanating from the earlier biomechanical assessment that was performed in our lab.
2012-2014	Exploring Advocacy for the Orthopaedic Resident Lifespan Graduate Medical Education Co-creator and Advisor ($10,000) Helped initiate the first advocacy curriculum for the orthopaedic residents at both Rhode Island and Miriam Hospitals, incorporating local, regional, and national speakers. This endeavor also represents, to our knowledge, one of the first few such programs in existence nationwide among orthopaedic residency programs. Following site review, received citation from Orthopaedic RRC as a novel and exemplary resident educational model.
2013-2014	Effect of Supramalleolar and Calcaneal Osteotomy on Ankle Joint Contact Characteristics during Simulated Medial or Lateral Unicompartmental Arthritis RIH Orthopedic Foundation Site PI ($50,000) This study is the first to reproduce the in vivo anatomy of patients with incomplete (partial joint) arthritic involvement of the ankle and thereafter characterize changes in peri-articular contact pressure after performing either supramalleolar, inframalleolar (calcaneal), or concurrent ankle osteotomies intended to offload the joint by displacing the anticipated ground reaction forces away from areas of perceived symptomatology (arthritic change) and towards areas of healthy cartilage (less articular involvement). Given the current risks, implications, and recoveries associated with both of the end stage definitive salvage procedures known as ankle fusion and ankle replacement, offloading osteotomy of the ankle is a relatively new procedure that has been embraced as a potential interim treatment for patients with moderate to severe symptomatic arthritis who might not prefer or be ideal candidates for these more aggressive procedures—and who are therefore looking for alternative forms of symptomatic relief when conservative measures fail.
2013-2014	Next Steps in Physicians Training in Geriatrics Donald W. Reynolds Foundation Co-PI and Director of the Orthopaedic Collaboration, Dr. Richard Besdine (PI $1,000,000) I worked closely with the study PI and Dean Emeritus of the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University, Richard W. Besdine, MD, to dovetail patient care efforts and analyze hospital dashboard metrics between the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Geriatric Medicine as a means of improving the care of geriatric patients who also require orthopaedic attention.
2015-2018	The Role of the Syndesmotic Ligament Injury Level on Syndesmotic Instability Young Investigator Award, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, MGH Co-PI with Dr. Holly Johnson ($25,000) This study sought to determine the relationship between degree of syndesmotic injury and the development of syndesmotic instability in the ankle. Since injury can be treated conservatively but injury with instability requires surgical stabilization for optimized results, this differentiation is important for delivering high quality care yet still remains poorly defined in the literature.
2015-2018	Arthroscopic Evaluation of the Ankle Syndesmosis: A Cadaveric Study American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Research Award Grant Recipient for 2015 PI ($20,000) This study evaluated the biomechanics of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis during arthroscopic assessment. The instability of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis was quantified based on arthroscopic measurements taking into account multiplanar fibular motion related to such injuries. From these data, the Arthroscopic Syndesmotic Assessment (ASA) tool was developed, able to reliably help surgeons differentiate between stable and unstable syndesmotic injury using arthroscopy alone. Additionally, we investigated whether routine ankle distraction (during arthroscopic evaluation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis) changes the observed magnitude of coronal and sagittal plane tibiofibular space and translation. Finally, we arthroscopically compared the stability of syndesmotic fixation with either standard screw or novel suture button device. This multifaceted study remains at our research forefront in helping definearthroscopy as the evolvingmethod for delivering such care in lieu of fluoroscopic exam, stress XR testing, MRI, CT, or U/S methodology—all of which are still being used today despite their lack of 1) sufficiently defined parameters to characterize instability, 2) dynamic assessment, and 3) ability to actually treat.

Projects Submitted for FundingTrainingGrants and Mentored Trainee GrantsUnfunded Current Projects

2018-present	Creation of a Flexible Arthroscope for Minimally Invasive Foot and Ankle Surgery; Philanthropic Donation secured for the MGH Foot and Ankle Research and Innovation Lab ($1,000,000.00). I filed for and obtained provisional patent protection of this device in 2007 (2007-09-20US20070219412A1).
2018-present	Role of Lateral Ligament Injury in Syndesmotic Instability Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) Grant Award Winner Co-PI with Dr. Daniel Guss ($20,000.00) We have just begun this study in our new FARIL lab in Weston. No one has yet published on the potential interactions between combination integrity or injury of the lateral collateral ligament complex of the ankle, the syndesmotic ligament complex, and the (medial) deltoid ligaments. To my knowledge we have been the first to hypothesize a potential “pelvic ring” like dependent relationship between these structures, and over the past year we have won two research grant awards through AANA and AOFAS to help better define the nature of this hypothesized relationship.
2019-present	Grants/Gifts-in-Kind Received by FARIL @ $450,000.00 from Arthrex, Inc (received February 2019): $16,500.00 cash, donated equipment value $316,900.00, loaned equipment value $265,684.00 sponsored research Specific Aims: Evaluate biomechanics and stability of commonly used methods of syndesmotic fixation Determine which techniques of syndesmotic fixation can best confer mechanics and stability most closely to that of an intact syndesmosis Determine optimal placement of a divergent suture-button construct to create clear technical instructions for surgeons Explore the mechanical benefit of AITFL augmentation using InternalBrace for syndesmotic fixation versus traditional ligament repair @ $187,273.00 from Butterfly, Inc (Submitted, in review); have received 1 ultrasound probe. Value: $1999.00 Used in numerous foot and ankle biomechanical studies in our lab Specific Aims: Establish a readily available, point of care, low cost, non-invasive, no risk, dynamic diagnostic technique using ultrasound for the measurement of syndesmotic instability and Achilles rupture gapping in the outpatient clinical setting Determine whether examination usingButterfly Technology produces images that are reproducible, reliable, and correlated to those made using GE LOGIQ V2 (U/S device 1) and GE LOGIQ E9 (U/S device 2) @ $5,086.00 sponsored research from VKTRY orthotics Specific Aim: Managing pain in patients with MTP-arthritis- A Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial In review: OrthoScan: loaner agreement; a Mini C-Arm for in our cadaveric lab from March-October 2019 @ $168,883.00 from Orfix Socks, Inc (Submitted, in review) Specific Aims: Determine whether or not traditional ankle taping, special sock use, or bracing provide superior stability after lateral ankle injury versus non-use, and how that changes with repetitive biomechanical loading and sweating (i.e., tape wetting) @ $27,900.00 from CurveBeam: Diagnosing Subtle Lisfranc Instability using Weightbearing Computed Tomography Scans Status: Work statement accepted. Approval of budget pending
2019-present	Ultrasonography for Diagnosing Medial Sided (Deltoid) Ankle Instability: A Cadaveric Study. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Grant Award Winner Co-PI with Dr. Gregory Waryasz ($20,000.00) We were recently awarded this by the AOFAS as one of only six grant awards for 2019. Ourlab has been one of the pioneers in helping understand lateral ankle (syndesmotic) instability, and this particular project was designed as follow-up to our earlier work. We aim to characterize medial sided ankle ligament injury in the ankle, yet to be quantified in our literature, since it is suspected that many individuals who sprain or otherwise injure (fracture, dislocate) their ankles actually sustain more global ligamentous damage that involves both the medial and lateral side of the joint. Our goal is to correlate the severity of deltoid injury with the degree of medial ankle instability, identify the implications of associated lateral ligament damage, and utilize cutting edge dynamic ultrasound techniques to make these determinations.
2019-present	Biomechanical Stability Assessment of Total Talus Prosthesis Replacement in a Cadaveric Model In Collaboration with Nara University, Japan Co-PI with Professor Yashuhito Tanaka ($10,885.00) Complete replacement of the talus in patients with severe post-traumatic ankle and/or subtalar arthritis or with post-traumatic talar avascular necrosis is becoming more commonly performed in the United States over the past several years, but has been very common (and originally described) in Japan for many years. Given that there exists little data on the biomechanical stability of this implant post-insertion, however, we have agreed to team up with the faculty of Nara University, Japan, the pioneers of this procedure, to generate some additional science and understanding regarding the potential biomechanical advantages and shortcomings of this procedure.
2019-present	Thromboprophylaxis in patients surgically treated for musculoskeletal foot and ankle disorders: A Randomized, Controlled Trial Multicenter Pilot Study Application Invited for NIH Planning Grant Program (R34 Pilot Study PAR 19-155): $450,000.00 over three years through National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) DiGiovanni CW, Lubberts B, Waryasz G, Guss D, Baumhauer J, Latt D, Hunt K, Kuter D, Rosokvsky R
2019-present	Over the last three years, we have submitted several large (over $14,000,000.00) Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) grant applications in an attempt to secure in funding for the largest venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) study ever to be performed in the field of foot and ankle surgery worldwide. As PI, I organized and onboarded 50 centers across North America to participate in a randomized, prospective, controlled trial regarding this subject, but—although strong enough to reach the final round of PCORI funding review—we were ultimately unsuccessful with our bid after two years of submission rounds and are now awaiting results of a resubmitted scaled down grant to the DOD (Department of Defense) for $7,500,000.00.

Research Supervisory and Training Responsibilities

As a former Residency Program Director and long-time Service Chief, Fellowship Director, and active faculty leader for orthopaedic residents and fellows in the field of foot and ankle at both Brown and Harvard, I continue to spend a substantial portion of my time mentoring trainees at all stages of their educational development. This has involved meaningful teaching and supervision in all manners of patient care and professional development. I continue to be a mentor to many of these individuals as they go into practice around the country and into service within their respective societies and communities, and I also continue to co-investigate many research projects, co-author many publications, and co-participate in many other academic endeavors with them as part of my mission in medicine.

Clinical Innovations

Creation of the “continuity clinic” for enhanced orthopaedic residency education and training (1994-5)	Approximately twenty years ago, I helped co-create and implement (the original idea must be attributed to my YIT co-resident, Dr. Sean Griggs) the concept of a Continuity Clinic for orthopedic residents during their residency training—designed to improve the continuity of care and doctor-patient relationship in our free clinics. As a result of these unusual changes in clinic structure, whereby residents and patients would no longer encounter the inefficiencies and problematic care associated with having to learn new faces and medical issues during every clinic visit, both patient and resident satisfaction soared. Our program was later commended by the RRC for this novel design improvement which, according to the RRC, has now evolved to become more standard across many orthopaedic programs in the United States —seemingly, in part, because of the improved learning opportunities, accountability, sense of ownership, and communication skills made available by this model.
Arthroscopy for sinus tarsi syndrome (‘STIL’ Lesion) (1999)	This paper in Foot & Ankle International was one of the first published works to highlight the potential clinical utility and promise of subtalar arthroscopy for certain disease states, a procedure that is commonplace today—but quite unusual 15 years ago. The data have been referenced and discussed at various national meetings, most recently at the AANA Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy Course held at the AAOS Orthopaedic Learning Center in Chicago in late October of 2013.
Outcome after Lisfranc Injury (2000)	I have produced several peer review publications (J Bone Joint Surg Am, Orthopedics) and book chapters on Lisfranc injuries that continue to be frequently quoted in the foot and ankle trauma literature with regard to what is considered appropriate care for patients with these serious midfoot injuries. At the time of its publication, our outcome assessment of this patient population represented one of the largest and most comprehensive series of patients having undergone ORIF for Lisfranc injury in the English literature.
ED external fixation for stabilizing severe ankle fractures (2002)	I was amongst the first to publish and popularize (Tech Foot Ankle Surg, Am J Orthop, Foot Ankle Clin) the application of external fixation in the emergency department to provide early intervention management of severe ankle fractures. This work has resulted in new hospital protocols influencing how orthopaedists can more efficiently and perhaps cost-effectively stabilize such acutely injured patients in a lower risk emergency room setting as opposed to the higher risk and more medically complex traditional operating room setting.
The concept of isolated gastrocnemius contracture (2002)	We were amongst the first to publish on the concept of isolated contracture of the gastrocnemius (J Bone Joint Surg Am, Foot Ankle Int, Medecine et Chirurgie du Pied, Foot Ankle Clin) as a clinical entity, and produced several successive clinical investigations which remain partly responsible for heralding a paradigm shift in our understanding and treatment of many forms of foot and ankle pathology. Although prior to our publications it was difficult to find a regional or national foot and ankle meeting willing to entertain this topic on the podium or surgeons willing to perform a procedure to remedy this problem, the entity has since become one of the most frequently published, quoted, and discussed topics at these meetings. The information has also prompted numerous invited book chapters as well as national and international visiting professorships to discuss the subject and perform related surgical techniques.
The importance of VTED in foot and ankle surgery (2007-ongoing)	I continue to dedicate a significant portion of my research time to population health management strategies, and the best example of this in my career has been our work on venous thromboembolic disease (VTED). We have spent the past decade investigating prophylactic management of VTED following foot ankle surgery, as well as the effects of VTED—and of prophylaxis itself (such as bleeding adverse events)—on patient quality of life. These efforts continue in hopes of better defining best practice and acceptable use of our various choices for venous thromboembolic prophylaxis in foot and ankle surgical patients.Our publications to date on this highly controversial and misunderstood topic (JBJS Am,Foot Ankle Int, JOR, Thromb Haemostasis, Orthopedics, Hellenic J Cardiol, etc) have resulted in multiple invited grand rounds presentations, international guest professorship invitations as keynote speaker on the topic,national webinars, and symposia moderation/participation at national meetings on the subject—but most importantly have helped our patients and colleagues more clearly understand what we currently know and don’t know about this topic and how best to use such limited information until better data come along.
Overutilization of MRI in foot and ankle surgery (2007)	Our published work on the overutilization of MRI in the field of foot and ankle surgery (Foot Ankle Int) was, to my knowledge, the first of its kind—and has stimulated great debate on behalf of our society (invited AOFAS presentations), insurance companies (invited Blue Cross/United Health presentations), newspapers (invited New York Times pieces), hospitals (assistance with Lifespan protocols), and gubernatorial candidates (invited commentary)—many of whom continue to communicate with me as to how these data might help guide more cost-effective care in the future.
What do we do when we drop a piece of our patient’s autograft bone in the operating room? (2011)	Many years ago, while nearing completion of a three plus hour case putting an out of state physician’s comminuted calcaneal fracture meticulously back together, I dropped the literally final—but indispensable—piece of this osteoarticular construct onto the OR floor. My subsequent research (J Bone Joint Surg Am) designed to clarify proper handling of dropped osteoarticular fragments has improved our algorithm for how to optimally manage unintended intraoperative contamination of indispensable host bone fragments after being dropped in the OR during orthopaedic surgery—a problem that has actually always been far more common than one might think.
Use of recombinant orthobiologic alternatives to autogenous bone graft in foot and ankle surgery (2013)	I was PI for what remains to date the largest scientific investigation ever performed, to my knowledge, in the field of foot and ankle surgery—in conjunction with many of my AOFAS colleagues across North America. As lead investigator for this study, I helped secure the funding (approximately 25M) and oversee design protocol, IRB approvals, FDA approval for IDE, surgeon recruitment, and appropriate investigational site vetting to successfully execute this 37 center, multi-national, Level I PRCT comparing the healing potential of a novel growth factor (rh-PDGF) to our traditional gold standard autogenous bone graft (ABG) as augments to standard foot and ankle fusion surgery. This research may result in the first FDA approved orthobiologic for use in foot and ankle surgery as a potential alternative to incurring the additional risks, second site surgery, and anaesthetic time associated with ABG harvest. Based on our work, this bone graft substitute has also already been approved for such use in multiple countries around the world and our data have resulted in the generation of multiple novel publications pertaining to bone biology during foot and ankle surgery (J Bone Joint Surg Am, Foot Ankle Clin, Foot Ankle Int, Current Orthop Practice), as well as invites for numerous national and international presentations.
Reconfiguring and Renegotiating MGH & NWH Foot/Ankle Surgical Implants (2019)	Over the past year, I have—at my suggestion/request—worked with hospital and operating room leadership to completely overhaul the OR products and industry inventory that has been used for the care of patients with foot and ankle problems over the past several decades. This has not been done before, and after noticing the significant redundancy, age, and excessive costs associated with our current equipment list I felt it would be wise to update these products across both the MGH and NWH operating systems as well as renegotiate the costs that the hospital is paying for these products. We are almost done with this process, which I believe will result in 1) major annual cost savings to the hospitals, 2) a markedly streamlined foot/ankle implant inventory for OR personnel, and 3) better patient care through improved and updated foot/ankle implant technology that will become available for surgeon use.

Novel Repair Techniques for Base 5th MT Fractures (2020)	We have filed for provisional patent protection for new fixation devices that increase compression across Jones and other types of 5th metatarsal fractures that are notorious for nonunion.
Novel Techniques for Percutaneous Achilles Repair (2020)	We have filed for provisional patent protection for new percutaneous fixation devices for Achilles tendon rupture; this is a self-contained system that is disposable and permits minimally invasive exposure and fixation.

Report of Teaching and Educational Innovations

Creation of the “continuity clinic” for enhanced orthopaedic residency education and training (1994-1995)

Approximately twenty years ago, I helped co-create and implement the concept of a Continuity Clinic for orthopedic residents during their residency training, designed to improve the continuity of care and the doctor-patient relationship in our free clinics. As a result, both patient and resident satisfaction improved significantly. Our program was later commended by the RRC for this novel design improvement, which has now evolved to become more common across many orthopaedic programs in the United States.

Report of Technological and Other Scientific Innovations

Eclipse total ankle replacement (2006)	I was lead designer for the Eclipse Total Ankle Replacement, Kinetikos Medical Inc (now Integra Life Sciences Corp), one of the few third generation total ankle arthroplasties to receive 510K FDA approval (K061749, 9/22/06) for clinical use in the United States. This implant was also the first of its kind to permit resurfacing through either a medial or lateral (as opposed to a traditionally anterior) approach—thereby enabling the surgeon to take advantage of local anatomy or prior surgical exposure. Our original work has stimulated new total ankle design considerations in the US market, as well as alternative approaches for ankle replacement, reflected, for example, by recent entrance of a very similar and just recently approved implant (Zimmer Trabecular Metal) released by Zimmer Corporation.
The flexible arthroscope: our future (2007)	Acknowledging a singular, partially relevant report published in the 1970s from Japan, I consider myself an original developer of the concept of a flexible arthroscope for use in orthopaedic surgery (US Patent Application #20070219412, filed March 16, 2007). It is my belief that this concept will someday revolutionize how orthopaedists across all subspecialties (not just foot and ankle) perform increasingly complex arthroscopic tasks through increasingly complex articular anatomy. Flexible arthroscopy offers the capacity to mirror and bend with the confinements of its surroundings, and therefore has the potential to extend the reach of arthroscopy well beyond the limits of what is now our effectively sole, and stale, technology (originally intended for just the knee): the rigid arthroscope.
IoFix novel intraosseous and intramedullary fixation in the foot and ankle (2009)	The concept of fixed angle intramedullary and/or intraosseous fixation has for decades been very successfully applied to the long bones of the musculoskeletal system. With this understanding, I led a team of foot and ankle experts to be the first to devise (multiple U.S. patents pending) a similar fixation system for application in the “small long bones” of the foot and ankle (recently published application in Tech Foot Ankle Surg). The indications for this new technology (IoFix) continue to expand rapidly, and over the past five years their applications have grown to a level which now includes their use across multiple countries throughout the world.
MGH Foot and Ankle Store (2017)	This patient-centered retail store is the first of its kind to be approved through Partners Healthcare by MGH administrative leadership. Having opened its doors for patients in March of 2017, this 2,500 SF build-out was conceptualized, designed, and overseen by me andcontinues to growwith an internet presence that has begun to serve foot and ankle patientsfrom around the world. The store—immediately adjacent to our clinic—represents “one stop shopping” for many of the care requirements that improve patient recovery from both operativeand non-operative problems.During this period, I also helped the Foot and Ankle Service in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery to also become the first site across all MGH to begin prescribing and dispensing our own durable medical equipment for patients as a means of better meeting on-site patient demand.
MGH Foot and Ankle Research and Innovation Lab (2019)	Having opened on February 1 2019, this 13,000 SF lab—FARIL—took three years of personal effort to design, fundraise, build-out, and gain formal approval by MGH administrative leadership for its implementation. Currently, this lab is one of few such subspecialty programs in foot and ankle in the United States. The new facility currently housesour newly hired PhD Lab Director, and promises to become a thought incubator for the advancement of foot and ankle patient care through cutting edge innovation and translational research. Intended to be the research and innovation cornerstone of our foot and ankle divisions at MGH and NWH, our lab hasalready committed to developing several novel IP generating design projects, concluding approximately 30 active research projects, incorporation of almost a dozenresearcher scholars from 7 countries around the world, and several future PhDs and MD-PhD candidate investigators.
MGH-NWH FARIL Projects Filed for Provisional Patents (2019)	Clinically relevant idea selected for MIT Medical Devices Class: A wearable device with sensors that measures and captures patient weightbearing and physical activity and provides patient feedback.
