  • Does Primary Closure of Long Bone Fractures Reduce Health Service Utilization without Adversely Affecting Patient Recovery? A Pilot Study (2014)
    This cohort study examined the impact of primary wound closure of long bone fractures. A secondary comparison with a matched series of patients who underwent delayed wound closure demonstrated no increase in either non-unions or deep infections.
  • A Prospective Evaluation of Adverse Outcomes in Open Long Bone Fractures (2013)
    This is one of the largest prospective cohort studies on compound fractures of long bones (n=736 patients with 791 fractures). We determined that early access to the operating room (ie <8 hours) did not affect the development of either deep infection or non-union. This work has been published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma and presented at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association and Canadian Orthopaedic Association annual meetings.
  • Rehabilitation for Long-term Care (LTC) Residents Following Hip Fracture: A Systematic Review and Survey of Current Practices, Barriers and Facilitators to Care (2012)
    We undertook a systematic review to determine the body of evidence for outcomes following hip fracture for those living in residential care settings or who had cognitive impairment. Our review found that patients with dementia are able to respond to rehabilitation after a hip fracture. We followed our review with a survey of reported rehabilitation practices after hip fracture in residential care settings in Alberta. Our survey found that rehabilitation professionals who worked in long term care settings also believed that residents could respond to rehabilitation. However, they reported that they were hindered in their ability to provide adequate rehabilitation because of limited resources, both time and personnel. Both components of this study have been published in Physiotherapy Canada and the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy.
