Trauma

In a groundbreaking study, UF Health researchers are delving into the intricate relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and orthopaedic trauma. Led by Dr. Jennifer E. Hagen, chief of the orthopaedic trauma division, at UF Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute, this research highlights the profound psychological impact that severe musculoskeletal injuries can have on patients, beyond their physical recovery.

The Hand/Upper Extremity and Trauma teams in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine were awarded a grant to help fund their multicenter prospective study on the treatment of proximal humerus fractures.  This grant was sponsored by the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) in conjunction with the ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) and was only awarded to two institutions in the country.
