OverviewAI-generated summary
David B. Bumpass's research focuses on orthopedic surgery, particularly spinal disorders and their surgical management. He has investigated surgical outcomes in obese patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and the impact of body mass index on outcomes after vertebral body tethering surgery. His work also addresses the management of pediatric cervical spine disorders and the considerations for patients with implanted devices undergoing scoliosis surgery.
His publications include a systematic review on gait changes in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, an exploration of infant inclined sleep product safety using biomechanics, and a discussion on the current state and future direction of virtual reality simulation education for orthopedic residents. Bumpass also co-authored research on the delayed diagnosis of spinal injuries in pediatric trauma patients and the implications of programmable implanted devices in early-onset scoliosis.
Bumpass leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has a scholarly record with an h-index of 20, 96 total publications, and 1,564 total citations. He collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Samuel C. Overley, Eric R. Siegel, Simon C. Mears, and Jeffrey B. Stambough.
