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
