Dr. Roush's clinical service duties are exclusively in small animal orthopedics and neurosurgery. Dr. Roush's primary research focus(es) are on bone healing and blood supply and on osteoarthritis and articular cartilage healing. He has been recently involved in several investigations assessing the effects of new commercial pharmaceuticals and other substances on lameness in dogs. Primary research resources include a Kistler ground forces plate, Faxitron, Isomet bone saw, and access to a biomechanics testing machine. Dr. Roush is primary advisor for one MS student at present, has directed four previous MS students to completion of their program, and has served on graduate committees for seven other MS students. Previous research efforts alone and in collaboration with others at KSU include characterization of normal ground forces in dogs, ground force evaluation for postoperative OCD patients, tendon healing projects, and investigations into bone blood supply and healing following bone plating. Dr. Roush's current and previous investigations have been primarily supported by the AO Vet Research, Nutramax Corporation, Kansas Greyhound Racing Commission, Hill's Pet Nutrition, and local granting agencies.
