Clinical Research

The doctors and staff at Ridgewood Orthopedic Group are committed to the advancement of knowledge in the field of orthopedics. Advancement of knowledge can result in the development of new knee and hip implant designs, or in the improvement of patient treatment protocols, all of which lead to the improvement of care and the potential for improved outcomes for patients with arthritis of the hip or knee.

As a patient of Ridgewood Orthopedic Group, with your consent, your treatment information may be used as part of data gathering process for a research study. Your involvement in a study requires no additional effort on your part and all your personal information is kept confidential. By combining the data from your treatment with the data from other patients we are able to evaluate overall treatment and make improvements to the care of future patients.
