Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Simon C. Mears is a researcher with an extensive publication record in orthopedic surgery and related medical fields. His work investigates various aspects of joint arthroplasty, including the medial pivot design in total knee arthroplasty and outcomes following hip fracture surgery. Mears has also explored the prevalence of chronic opioid use in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery and the influence of knee osteoarthritis on spinopelvic alignment. His research has addressed the length of stay after joint arthroplasty and challenges related to extensor mechanism disruption.
His scholarship is characterized by a significant volume of work, with 283 total publications and 7,165 total citations, contributing to an h-index of 42. Mears leads a research group and collaborates closely with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jeffery B. Stambough, C. Lowry Barnes, Benjamin M. Stronach, and Eric R. Siegel, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications. His research group's activities and his own scholarly output indicate a focus on clinical outcomes and surgical techniques within orthopedics.
