Leonard T. Buller conducts clinical orthopedic research focused on joint replacement surgery, particularly total knee and total hip arthroplasty (surgical replacement of knee and hip joints). The work studies surgical outcomes, implant performance and durability, complications such as infections around implants, and factors that influence patient recovery and satisfaction. Much of the research draws on patient registries and follow-up data to evaluate primary and revision (repeat) procedures.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
