Hudson Regional Health · In partnership with New York Medical College
Advancing orthopedic surgery through discovery, technology, and outcomes.
Research is an integral component of the Hudson Orthopedic Residency experience. Our residents, faculty, students, and fellows collaborate to answer clinically meaningful questions, improve patient outcomes, develop innovative solutions, and shape the future of musculoskeletal care.
Our mission is to train surgeons who can identify unmet clinical needs, generate novel solutions, and translate them into better patient care.
At Hudson Orthopedics, our research efforts span bioengineering, digital health, artificial intelligence, orthobiologics, biomechanics, clinical trials, healthcare delivery science, and translational research.
Our goal is not simply to publish papers. Our goal is to improve patient care — through clinically relevant, outcomes-driven, translational orthopedic research that prepares residents to become leaders in the next generation of musculoskeletal medicine.
Each pillar represents a domain where Hudson residents actively contribute to advancing the specialty.
From bone regeneration to smart implants — the foundational science that enables tomorrow's surgical breakthroughs.
The centerpiece of Hudson research — where data, AI, and precision measurement converge to redefine orthopedic care.
Open research questions driving the SIGMA Digital Orthopedics Lab:
Objective measurement of the human body in motion — from elite athletes to post-surgical recovery.
Rigorous prospective research anchored in real patient populations and validated outcome measures.
Almost no orthopedic residency is discussing healthcare delivery innovation — Hudson is leading that conversation.
Measuring what matters. Improving what we measure.
The SIGMA Digital Orthopedics Lab is the research engine of Hudson Orthopedics — collecting, analyzing, and translating clinical outcomes data into actionable improvements in patient care. This is where data science, AI, and precision medicine meet orthopedic surgery fundamentals.
Residents who enter the SIGMA Lab join a program built around answering some of the most important unanswered questions in orthopedic surgery.
Open Research Questions
Can we measure the biological age of a joint?
Can we quantify recovery following surgery?
Can AI predict orthopedic outcomes before symptoms appear?
Can we detect arthritis before it shows on X-ray?
Can wearables improve recovery and rehabilitation?
Can motion capture predict injury risk?
Can AI improve musculoskeletal oncology outcomes?
Can we objectively quantify surgical performance over time?
