Clinical interests center on joint diseases and bone circulation, in OA and osteonecrosis. Recent studies have involved delineating the role of arthroscopy in OA, elucidating the role of bone marrow edema in joint pain, and studying the use of anti-resorptive therapy in osteonecrosis.

In the laboratory, Dr. Aaron is investigating aspects of the
pathophysiology of OA focusing on circulatory disturbances in subchondral bone and the relationship of bone and
cartilage abnormalities.
