Trauma Studies

Trauma-related surgeries and injuries pose unique challenges for recovery, often requiring comprehensive approaches to optimize healing and restore function. At the forefront of clinical research, our trauma studies explore innovative strategies to enhance recovery outcomes, reduce complications, and improve quality of life for patients. From nutritional interventions and metabolic optimization to groundbreaking surgical techniques, our research is driven by a commitment to advancing care for patients recovering from life-altering trauma. Explore how evidence-based findings shape the future of trauma recovery and rehabilitation.

  • Reduced Post Op Complications and Muscle Wasting After Fracture Fixation

    Patients who received 2 wks of Amino Acid supplementation after surgery were shown to have significantly lower complication rates:

    *Nonunion rates:

    5.1% tx group vs 13.2% control

    *Over-all complication rates:

    30.5% tx group vs. 43.8% control

    *Preserved muscle mass at 6 wks:

    -.33 kg tx group vs –0.9 kg control

  • Conditionally Essential Amino Acid Supplementation Reduces Postoperative Muscle Wasting in Orthopedic Trauma Patients

    Patients randomized to standard nutrition had significant FFM loss compared to those receiving additional CEAA supplementation 6 weeks after surgery.

    *Control was −1.28 kg (P = .004)

    vs.

    *Among CEAA was -.56 kg

    At 12 weeks, the control group decreased FFM further from baseline while the CEAA group mostly recovered their loss.
