MIS Research Initiative

Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) in orthopaedics represent a significant advancement in patient care. These techniques are designed to reduce recovery time, minimize pain, and lower the risk of complications. By using smaller incisions and advanced technologies, our team provides cutting-edge solutions that aim to restore function and improve the quality of life for our patients. This initiative, launched by clinicians, researchers, and scientists at Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School, aims to advance the field of MIS in orthopaedic surgery. Our goal is to expand nationally and internationally, establishing a global hub for MIS research, innovation, and collaboration. Through cutting-edge techniques and research, we strive to improve patient outcomes and shape the future of orthopaedic care.

Our team consists of experienced surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing the field of orthopaedics through minimally invasive techniques. Each member brings unique expertise and a shared commitment to improving patient outcomes.
