Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Simon C. Mears' research focuses on orthopedic surgery, particularly joint replacement procedures and their outcomes. His work investigates various aspects of total hip and knee arthroplasty, including implant design, patient selection, and post-operative complications. Mears has also examined the prevalence of chronic opioid use in elderly patients following hip fracture surgery and explored the influence of knee osteoarthritis on spinal alignment.
His research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences collaborates extensively with other faculty members, including Jeffrey B. Stambough, C. Lowry Barnes, Benjamin M. Stronach, and Eric R. Siegel. Mears' scholarly output is substantial, with a high-impact designation indicated by his h-index of 42, 284 total publications, and over 7,300 citations. His recent publications address topics such as the challenges of extensor mechanism disruption, the performance of specific knee arthroplasty designs, and the accuracy of risk calculators for predicting length of stay after joint arthroplasty.
