Dr. Scolaro’s interests are focused on biomechanical and clinical outcomes investigations. He continues to work closely with Thay Q. Lee, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Orthopaedic Surgery, in the Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory. Current clinical research at UCI is focused on the role that the endocannabinoid system plays in the management of perioperative pain following fracture surgery. In addition, Dr. Scolaro and the orthopaedic trauma division collaborate with institutions across North America on several larger multicenter studies. Funding for clinical and biomechanical work has been awarded from: AO North America, Foundation for Orthopaedic Trauma, Orthopaedic Trauma Association and Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation.
