Clinical Research

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is working to grow our clinical research programs and to collaborate with existing and developing programs throughout Duke University’s research community. 

We actively facilitate communication and interests among research and clinical faculty, research support staff, and clinical learners. To begin developing groups within critical areas of musculoskeletal research, we are launching a series of seminars in specialty research areas.


Clinical Research Unit

The CRU oversees and supports all clinical research projects undertaken by Duke Orthopaedics faculty. It also helps investigators access and manage pre- and post-award funding from industry, foundation, and federal sources and develop strong research partnerships across disciplines.
