Research Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nUTMB Biomechanics Laboratory
\nAn investigation into the reliability of software used in the creation of three-dimensional imaging from standard, two-dimensional CT scans. This software has become a common method in the evaluation of the musculoskeletal system for pathological processes, therapeutic intervention, and biomechanical studies. However, such software has been assumed reliable without scientific evidence.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUTMB Department Of Orthopedics And Rehabilitation
\nA Comparison of Tip-Apex Distance (TAD) and Quadrant Placement between Cephalomedullary Devices and the Hip Screw Side Plate. Stemming from the scientifically established relationship of TAD and quadrant placement with failure rates, this study compared the quality of proximal femur fracture repair using two commonly used hardware systems.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUTMB Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Texas
\nAn evaluation of interfragmentary motion with variable screw configuration within locking plate constructs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate far cortical abutting screws versus bicortical screws in the fixation of segmental radial shaft fractures.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUT Southwestern Department of Orthopedic Trauma
\nAnalysis of the Starr Pelvic Reduction Frame
\nThe purpose of this study was to demonstrate early experience with a novel frame designed for reduction of pelvic ring disruptions. This device allows for manipulation and maintenance of reduction for fixation of all types of displaced pelvic ring disruptions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTexas Orthopedic Hospital\/University of Texas Medical Branch
\nFinancial impact of third party reimbursement changes on a large group practice due to changes in the definition of codes 29881 and 29877. An analysis of the financial impact of Center for Medicare Services changes in RVU values and bundling to physicians and patients.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
