Pain Management in Arthroplasty
Book Chapter in Orthopaedic Knowledge Update (OKU 8),
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS, 2026).
Co-authored with Alexandra Santina Gabrielli, MD, Annapareddy Venkata Gurava Reddy, Jess H. Lonner, MD, and Ramakanth Reddy Yakkanti, MD — this chapter outlines a comprehensive, multimodal pain management protocol for joint replacement surgery: preemptive analgesia, perioperative nerve blocks, opioid-sparing strategies in the elderly, and adjunct techniques including geniculate nerve ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and cryoneurolysis for chronic post-TKA pain.
Book Chapters Published
Hip Arthroplasty — Current and Future Directions
Three chapters contributed to this volume, covering the full revision pathway: radiological work-up, implant selection, and uncemented tapered stem fixation.

Implant Selection in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty
A decision framework for choosing femoral and acetabular components in revision THA, built around bone-defect classification, etiology of failure, and the biomechanical goal of restoring native hip offset and centre of rotation.
Radiological Assessment of Total Hip Arthroplasty
A structured framework for pre- and post-operative imaging in THA — component positioning, offset and leg-length restoration, cementation adequacy, and radiographic diagnosis of loosening, osteolysis, and periprosthetic fracture.
Radiological Assessment of Total Hip Arthroplasty
A structured framework for pre- and post-operative imaging in THA — component positioning, offset and leg-length restoration, cementation adequacy, and radiographic diagnosis of loosening, osteolysis, and periprosthetic fracture.

Uncemented Tapered Femoral Stems in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty
Examines porous-coated tapered stems as the leading fixation strategy in femoral revision — indications, modular versus non-modular design, and how initial press-fit stability drives long-term osseointegration and lower aseptic loosening rates.
Knee Arthroplasty — New and Future Directions
A single, foundational chapter on modern radiological assessment across the lifecycle of a total knee replacement.

Radiological Assessment of Total Knee Arthroplasty
A survey of the full imaging arsenal for TKA — plain radiography, CT, MRI, radio-stereographic analysis, scintigraphy, and ultrasonography — mapped against the commonest failure modes: infection, aseptic loosening, and coronal or sagittal malalignment.
