Applied Research Studies


The Cincinnati Hip Preservation Center (CHPC) is responsible for every phase of all patient related studies under the direction of Dr. Mahmoud Almasri and adjunct faculty, Drs. Ankit Bansal, Michael Palmer and Sanjeev Bhatia. The Hip Arthroscopy and Joint Preservation Center aims to provide patients from the Midwest region and beyond with a cutting edge, multidisciplinary approach involving injuries of the hip. Using the latest in newly developed arthroscopic and open surgical techniques, newly developed cartilage technologies, and non-surgical rehabilitation protocols and injections, the Center aims to provide young, active individuals with the best evidence-based non-arthroplasty treatment options for relieving hip pain, delaying the progression of end stage arthritis, and returning individuals to sports and function. Additionally, the Center is actively engaged in research and education efforts to advance the understanding of hip and joint preservation, sports medicine, and orthopaedic wellness.
