Orthopedic trauma

About

We conduct research important in the prevention and recovery from injuries to muscles, joints, and bones. We conduct observational studies and clinical trials. Our research on orthopedic trauma is embedded in a Level 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center. Additional areas of research focus include the electronic capture of patient reported outcomes and the comparative effectiveness of orthopedic interventions.
