About

Biography

I am Matthew Hadad, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I specialize in research focused on patient outcomes after total hip and knee arthroplasty. My research focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection and on advancing our understanding of socioeconomic disparities in arthroplasty care.

I am passionate about improving the quality, safety and accessibility of care for patients undergoing total hip and knee replacement. My work examines the factors that influence patient outcomes following arthroplasty, with an emphasis on identifying opportunities to enhance recovery, improve long-term function, and reduce complications.

A major focus of my research is advancing the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint infection, one of the most challenging complications in joint replacement surgery. I investigate strategies to improve clinical decision-making and optimize treatment approaches that lead to better patient outcomes.

I also study health and socioeconomic disparities in arthroplasty care, seeking to better understand barriers that affect access, outcomes, and overall patient experience. Through quantitative research, observational studies, randomized controlled trials, surveys, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, I work to generate evidence that informs clinical practice and supports more equitable care delivery.

My goal is to contribute to research that improves outcomes for patients undergoing joint replacement while helping to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of complications that affect quality of life.
