Their scholarly output comprises over 220 publications, predominantly related to surgical practice and specifically knee arthroplasty.

The primary subfields of study for Murray include surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, rheumatology, biomedical engineering, and cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. The main topics of research are:

  • Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes
  • Orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty
  • Knee injuries and reconstruction techniques
  • Orthopedic Infections and Treatments
  • Osteoarthritis Treatment and Mechanisms
  • Bone fractures and treatments
  • Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Pathologies

Murray frequently publishes in several specialized journals, including:

  • Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy
  • The Journal of Arthroplasty
  • The Knee
  • Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
  • Orthopaedic Proceedings

Recent representative papers demonstrate Murray's research focus on knee replacement and related surgical outcomes. Selected publications include:

  • "The Effect of Surgeon Caseload on the Relative Revision Rate of Cemented and Cementless Unicompartmental Knee Replacements," 2020, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
  • "Efficacy of Liposomal Bupivacaine and Bupivacaine Hydrochloride vs Bupivacaine Hydrochloride Alone as a Periarticular Anesthetic for Patients Undergoing Knee Replacement," 2022, JAMA Surgery
  • "Total versus partial knee replacement in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis: the TOPKAT RCT," 2020, Health Technology Assessment
  • "Most unicompartmental knee replacement revisions could be avoided: a radiographic evaluation of revised Oxford knees in the National Joint Registry," 2020, Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy
  • "Impact of age on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis," 2022, Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy

Collaborative research forms a significant part of Murray's work, with frequent co-authors including Stephen Mellon, Hasan R. Mohammad, Andrew Judge, Andrew Price, and Azmi Rahman. These collaborations reflect an active engagement within the orthopedic research community.

David W. Murray's contributions are recognized through honors such as being named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2007. This distinction acknowledges their involvement in advancing medical and surgical knowledge.
