Overview

David G. Lewallen is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic in the United States and has a substantial body of research primarily in the field of Medicine. Their work spans multiple subfields including Surgery, Statistics and Probability, Economics and Econometrics, General Health Professions, and Biomedical Engineering.

Their research focuses mainly on topics related to orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty outcomes, orthopedic infections and treatments, hip disorders and treatments, health systems alongside economic evaluations and quality of life, hip and femur fractures, and the management of metastatic bone disease.

David G. Lewallen has contributed to several notable scientific papers, including the following:

  • Phage Therapy for Limb-threatening Prosthetic KneeKlebsiella pneumoniae Infection: Case Report and In Vitro Characterization of Anti-biofilm Activity, 2020, Clinical Infectious Diseases
  • A Deep Learning Tool for Automated Radiographic Measurement of Acetabular Component Inclination and Version After Total Hip Arthroplasty, 2021, The Journal of Arthroplasty
  • Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence Model for Assessment of Hip Dislocation Risk Following Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty From Postoperative Radiographs, 2021, The Journal of Arthroplasty
  • Direct Inpatient Medical Costs of Operative Treatment of Periprosthetic Hip and Knee Infections Are Twofold Higher Than Those of Aseptic Revisions, 2020, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
  • Effects of Hospital and Surgeon Volume on Patient Outcomes After Total Joint Arthroplasty: Reported From the American Joint Replacement Registry, 2022, Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

The frequent coauthors collaborating with Lewallen include:

  • Daniel J. Berry
  • Matthew P. Abdel
  • Hilal Maradit Kremers
  • Dirk R. Larson
  • Michael J. Taunton

Lewallen's publications appear predominantly in medical and orthopedic research venues, with the most frequent journals being:

  • The Journal of Arthroplasty
  • Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
  • The Bone & Joint Journal
  • Orthopaedic Proceedings
  • Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

Throughout their career, Lewallen has emphasized the surgical aspects of orthopaedic care supported by quantitative methods and health system evaluations. The intersection of clinical practice and applied biomedical engineering is a consistent theme in their research output. This is reflected in the depth of studies addressing both operative outcomes and infection management in joint arthroplasty.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

If you’re considering a career in Medicine but want flexibility, online healthcare degrees offer alternative pathways. The demand for qualified nurses is driving many to explore hybrid and online programs for faster entry or advanced roles.

Students seeking an affordable route may want to compare what is the cheapest rn to bsn program online to minimize tuition costs without sacrificing quality. For those already holding an RN license, this pathway is a practical choice for career advancement.

If you hold a non-nursing bachelor’s degree but want to transition into nursing, online direct entry msn programs for non-nursing majors offer a streamlined option to earn a master’s and become eligible for licensure, all without starting from scratch.

Aspiring nurse educators or researchers considering a terminal degree can look into a phd nursing education online for academic leadership roles. Those looking for less competitive applications can find nursing schools with high acceptance rates, improving their chances of admission and seamless career progression.
