AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
Dr. Stephanie Cone studies the structure-function relationship that exists in tendons and ligaments with a special interest in changes in this relationship during growth and following injury. Dr. Cone’s work spans scales from sub-tissue to whole-body and incorporates models ranging from computational models to pre-clinical animal and human studies. Her work aims to improve age-specific orthopaedic interventions for knee and ankle injuries in pediatric populations by developing targeted surgical plans and improving post-operative assessments.
