Epidemiology of Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy
A study of trends over time in the incidence of brachial plexus birth palsy in the United States and the relationship of those trends to changes in obstetric care practices.
Hand and Arm Disorder Research
Orthopaedic clinicians at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) are actively researching a range of hand and arm disorders and treatments.
Hereditary Multiple Exostoses Research
Researchers have created experimental models of hereditary multiple exostoses to study how exostoses form and grow, and are devising drug- and gene-based therapies to prevent exostosis formation.
Heterotopic Ossification Prevention Research
Researchers have identified a possible drug-based therapy for heterotopic ossification prevention and have tested it in experimental models of the disease.
Orthopaedic Clinical Research
Our orthopaedic clinical research evaluates treatments including spine deformities, bone tumors, trauma, sports medicine and a full range of orthopaedic abnormalities.
Orthopaedic Engineering and 3D Musculoskeletal Imaging Research
Advanced imaging and motion analysis are powerful tools for CHOP orthopaedic physicians and researchers treating complex disorders, allowing them to visualize the spine and lower extremities from all angles, as a 3D model, and in motion.
Orthopaedic Research
Our orthopaedic researchers combine laboratory and clinical research to create novel therapies that combine surgical and biologic tools.
Pediatric Hip Disorder Research
Orthopaedic clinicians at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) are actively researching a range of hip disorders.
Research: Tendon/Ligament Healing
Tendons and ligaments have limited repair capacity. Once damaged, tendons and ligaments undergo changes that cause substantial clinical problems including pain, swelling and local stiffness.
