Trauma Research for Children and Adults
Research in the Trauma Program focuses on the management of complex orthopedic conditions resulting from traumatic accidents in children and adolescents. Specific areas of interest include the treatment of fractures, limb deformities, musculoskeletal infections, and physical (growth plate) injuries. The Trauma Program is currently involved in two large, multicenter studies investigating pediatric femur fracture treatment and adolescent proximal humerus fracture treatment.
