Regis L. Renard

OverviewAI-generated summary

Regis L. Renard, Assistant Professor in Orthopaedics Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, specializes in orthopaedic traumatology. His clinical expertise includes the treatment of complex fractures, such as peri-articular, pelvic, and acetabular fractures, as well as managing post-traumatic complications like nonunions, malunions, and osteomyelitis. Dr. Renard also focuses on limb salvage, deformity correction, joint preservation, and post-traumatic reconstruction of the hip, knee, and ankle in adults.

His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering with a specialization in Material Science from Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He earned his medical degree and completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Further fellowship training in orthopaedic traumatology was completed at the University of Southern California.

Dr. Renard's research has explored biomechanical analyses of fracture fixation constructs and the mechanical consequences of specific fracture types. His publications include studies on the mechanics of shoulder fractures, acetabular fractures, and stress fractures of the foot. He has also contributed to research on antibiotic elution profiles from bone cement and anatomical studies using human cadavers.
