Systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating surgical techniques, implant strategies, and post-operative outcomes in joint replacement and orthopaedic trauma — synthesizing evidence across randomized controlled trials to inform clinical practice.

Registry

Orthopaedic registry research

Continued analysis of large-scale arthroplasty registry data through ECAR, alongside broader multidisciplinary research under Prof. Hafez's mentorship.

Exam prep

USMLE Step 1

Structured preparation running alongside active research commitments, targeting February 2027.
