Trauma

Dr. Romeo specializes in the comprehensive treatment of complex orthopaedic injuries and disorders of the hip and pelvis. His expertise includes fracture care, hip replacement, complex hip reconstruction, and hip-preservation procedures for patients ranging from young adults to older adults.

A new University of Florida study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma suggests that starting fluoxetine soon after a traumatic musculoskeletal injury may help reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms during recovery while also improving pain-related outcomes.

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.
