Chitranjan S. Ranawat MD Chair in Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement Douglas E. Padgett, MD Dr. Douglas Padgett served as Chief of the Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement (ARJR) Service and held the Chitranjan S. Ranawat MD Chair in Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement from 2008-2019. In June of 2019, he was named as the inaugural Associate Surgeon-in-Chief and Deputy Medical Director, and Chief Emeritus of ARJR. The Chair provided vital support for Dr. Padgett’s leadership of research to improve the design, delivery, and outcomes of joint replacements of the hip and knee, partnering with the Department of Biomechanics and the implant retrieval archive to better understand the failure mechanism of implants and make design changes that improve performance. These investigations include the use of technologies such as computer-assisted navigation and robotics to more accurately implant prosthetic devices. As one of the largest institutional registries of its kind, the Total Joint Replacement Registry maintained by the ARJR Service provides invaluable information on patient outcomes after joint replacement. The Chitranjan S. Ranawat MD Chair will continue to support the work of the ARJR Service, now under the leadership of Mathias P. Bostrom, MD.
