Orthopaedic Resident Research

The division of Orthopaedics believes strongly in the importance of advancing the practice of orthopaedics through clinical and basic science research.  Residents are expected to complete one publishable manuscript with in their 5 years of training. In addition to our supportive attendings, there are two research PhD’s on staff to help with the design and implementation of projects throughout your training.  There is a wide variety of active research at SIU including investigating improved pain control in TKA, relationship between patient satisfaction and referral patterns, and patient outcomes in revision THA.  Residents are encouraged to present their research at regional and national meetings and are supported financially if their abstracts are chosen to be presented.  Recently, residents have had an opportunity to present at conferences for the Mid-America Orthopaedic Association, American Orthopaedic Association, and the Canadian Orthopaedic Association.
