Dr. Carlos Monroig Awarded a Grant for Arthrofibrosis Research with Dr. Luis Marrero

LSU Orthopaedics congratulates Dr. Carlos Monroig, PGY-1 Orthopaedics resident, on receiving a research grant for his project, "Establishing a pre-clinical model of arthrofibrosis." Under the mentorship of Dr. Luis Marrero, Dr. Monroig is supported by a research team that includes Miguel A. De Jesus (gap year research fellow, Ponce Health Sciences in Puerto Rico), Alexandra Chimento (second-year medical student, LSUHSC), and Molly Chaffee (pre-med undergraduate, Tulane University). Dr. Monroig's research aims to develop an in vivo rat model to study arthrofibrosis, a debilitating condition that causes painful, restricted joint movement. This work has the potential to significantly improve future treatments for patients suffering from this condition.
