Objective measures of operating room wire navigation performance

Abstract

I would like to thank my thesis supervisors Drs. Don Anderson and Geb Thomas for their guidance and support over the past two years. Having professional role models who demonstrate success through example made this achievement possible. Collaboration from orthopedic residents, staff, and surgeons, especially Dr. Matthew Karam with his clinical vision and leadership, was essential to the success of this research. Additionally, I would like to recognize Dr. David Wilder for providing academic support and insight on my committee. I would also like to thank faculty and fellow students in the Orthopedic Biomechanics Lab, whose daily support was indispensable. Finally, I owe the most gratitude to my family; my parents who champion my personal and professional development unconditionally and my husband for always pushing me.
