    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    My research interests have primarily focused on orthopedic injuries, particularly of the hip and lower extremities. I have focused primarily on injuries in older adults, and have a particular interest in examining hospital-level influences and the effects of processes-of-care on outcomes in these patients. I also have interest in studying injuries in children as well. Finally, I have begun some work examining how pre-existing and comorbid conditions affect outcomes in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
