Musculoskeletal injury

We are focused on evaluating access to care for hip, pelvic/acetabular and spine fractures.

Clinical research activities

  • Evaluating the best fracture treatments and soft tissue repair strategies through randomized controlled trials
  • Developing interventions for primary and secondary prevention of fragility fractures
  • Understanding the implications of low back pain and gender differences in surgery

Basic science research activities

  • Developing new algorithms to improve fracture-reduction using computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery
  • Evaluating the biomechanics of numerous fracture fixation techniques
  • Developing better methods for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
  • Trying to predict outcomes for hip fracture patients based on biochemical markers in order to design intervention strategies better
