Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Dr. Mark Tait's research focuses on clinical and investigative endeavors related to injuries of the hand, elbow, and peripheral nerves in both adult and pediatric populations. His clinical practice and research interests include brachial plexus injuries, tetraplegia, peripheral nerve injuries, and microsurgery. He also investigates outcomes for upper extremity amputees.
His publications include studies comparing surgical techniques for wrist arthrodesis, assessing the impact of telemedicine on patient transfers to trauma centers, and evaluating reconstructive flap techniques for thumb metacarpal reconstruction. He has also published on knee arthroplasty outcomes and has a history of research in consumer protection law, which appears to be unrelated to his primary medical practice.
Dr. Tait collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including John W. Bracey, Katherine J. Montoya, Randall R. Rainwater, and Sean Morell. He maintains an active lab website to disseminate his research.
Research Overview
Dr. Mark Tait is an assistant professor specializing in hand and upper extremity surgery with an emphasis on microsurgery, brachial plexus injuries, and nerve injuries. He treats both adults and children at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. He graduated with Honors from Brigham Young University. He completed a residency in Orthopaedic Surgery through UAMS and ACH graduating in 2015. He was selected to attend the AOA resident leadership forum and was given the Carl Nelson Resident Leadership Award. He completed a fellowship in hand and microsurgery at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte, NC with Dr. Glenn Gaston, a hand consultant for the Carolina Panthers and NASCAR. He received further training in brachial plexus and nerve injuries on a traveling fellowship with Dr. Christophe Oberlin in Paris, France. He is involved in clinical and research endeavors focusing on sports and traumatic injuries to the hand, elbow, and nerves of adult and pediatric patients. He has a special interest in brachial plexus, tetraplegia, peripheral nerve injuries, and microsurgery. He is also interested in improving function of upper extremity amputees through the use of a myoelectric prosthesis. His research has been published in peer reviewed medical journals and his research has been presented at various forums and meetings around the country. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Society of Surgery of the Hand
