She is an accomplished complex hip surgeon who treats young and adult patients with hip pre-osteoarthritic and advanced osteoarthritis, performing adult hip reconstruction and hip preservation procedures, including open and arthroscopic complex hip procedures, direct anterior and posterior total hip replacement, revision arthroplasty, PAO, hip arthroscopy, core decompression, proximal femoral osteotomies and hip surgical dislocation.

Dr. Pascual-Garrido leads a basic science lab and has developed a small animal model of FAI that she will use as a platform to study progression of hip OA. She has secured extramural funding from the NIH, as well as multiple OREF and AOSSM grants. She is a nationally recognized leader in the field of Hip Preservation and has been awarded by the AAOS for Award of Excellence, the Lee T. Ford Academic Award, the William Harris Career Development Award in Hip Preservation from the ANCHOR Group, the AOSSM Cabaud Memorial Award and the Dean’s Impact Award.
