About the Editors

this background led him to the field of Orthopaedic Surgery, and more specifically into the specialty of total joint arthroplasty. He is now an associate professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Utah and enjoys training residents and fellows in adult reconstruction. Dr. Gililland’s research interests are focused on the biomechanics of hip and knee replacements, revision joint replacement techniques, the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy to improve implant positioning, and peri prosthetic joint infection. His efforts have resulted in the development of a fluoroscopic navigation system to combat the problem of distortion, and development of a collaborative team of researchers aimed at exploring the heritable risk of periprosthetic joint infections. He has published over 100 papers and book chapters and enjoys teaching on the national and international stage. Theodore Manson, MD, MS

or infections around existing hip and knee replacements and directed the Maryland Statewide Referral System for these patients. He also had a hip and knee replacement practice at St Joseph’s Hospital during this time. Dr. Manson now limits his practice to patients with arthritis and provides treatments ranging from early treatments for arthritis to joint replacement surgery. His research interests include complex revision hip replace ment, periprosthetic fractures, and rapid recovery proto cols following hip and knee surgery. J. Bohannon Mason, MD

followed with an additional one-year fellowship in total joint replacement at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, where he trained in minimally invasive joint replacement, revision joint replacement, and hip and knee surgery. From 2009 to 2019 Dr. Manson was an ortho paedic trauma surgeon at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and cared for patients with complex frac tures and multisystem trauma. In addition, he cared for patients from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia who were referred for complex fractures Dr. Mason has spent more than 20 years in the study and pursuit of tissue-sparing reconstructive surgery of the hip, with particular focus on direct anterior, and has authored numerous studies and delivered more than 150 lectures on related topics. His research interests have focused on early recovery following direct anterior total hip arthroplasty, component orientation, exposure techniques, and the contribution of capsule structures to total hip arthroplasty stability. His influence on the field is additionally expanded through the education of visit ing surgeons, residents, and fellows. Copyright © Wolters Kluwer, Inc.
