Tania Ferguson

Philosophy of Care

Preservation of the hip in the young patient, either after fracture or secondary to congenital abnormality, is a priority that will consume my technical dedication and academic thought throughout my career. I believe that aggressive pursuit of excellent articular reduction while respecting the biologic environment of the fractured bone will optimize the outcome in fractures around the hip and pelvis as well as the rest of the body. I believe that my surgical abilities directly influence my patients' outcomes, and I will constantly try to improve my technical skills and existing surgical techniques to better my patients.
