David Stephen

Dr. Stephen’s main research interests involve the measurement of function and other outcomes following traumatic musculoskeletal injuries, specifically pelvic and acetabular trauma and foot and ankle trauma. Research methodology includes randomized clinical trials.

Ongoing clinical trials regarding the care of patients with specific fractures should answer questions regarding best clinical management strategies, including the use of ultrasound to increase healing in tibial shaft fractures and determination of definitive management following traumatic fractures of the foot and ankle.
