Trauma
Fracture fixation is a major activity in the Division of Orthopaedics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Research centers on improving methods of diagnosis and treatment for fractures, including defining evidence-based standards of clinical care. For example, among children with forearm shaft fractures, does surgical treatment improve range of motion and function as compared to traditional cast treatment? How do different treatment processes affect the stiffness and stability of repaired limbs?
