Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Orthopedic surgery

His primary areas of investigation include Surgery, Physical therapy, Orthopedic surgery, Fracture fixation and Amputation. All of his Surgery and Osteosynthesis, Intramedullary rod, Tibia, Radiography and Bone healing investigations are sub-components of the entire Surgery study. His research in Physical therapy intersects with topics in Content validity and Prospective cohort study.

His Orthopedic surgery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cohort study, Evidence-based medicine, Certification and Medical emergency. His Fracture fixation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Femoral Neck Fractures, Internal fixation and Nonunion. His Amputation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Return to work, Observational study and Health economy.

His most cited work include:

  • An Analysis of Outcomes of Reconstruction or Amputation after Leg-Threatening Injuries (589 citations)
  • Introducing levels of evidence to the journal. (525 citations)
  • Internal fixation compared with arthroplasty for displaced fractures of the femoral neck. A meta-analysis. (404 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Marc F. Swiontkowski spends much of his time researching Surgery, Orthopedic surgery, Physical therapy, Internal fixation and Femoral neck. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Surgery, narrowing it down to issues related to the Femoral Neck Fractures, and often Hip fracture. His Orthopedic surgery study combines topics in areas such as Femur, Medical physics, Evidence-based medicine and Osteosynthesis.

His Physical therapy research includes themes of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Prospective cohort study and Amputation. The various areas that Marc F. Swiontkowski examines in his Internal fixation study include Fixation and Arthroplasty. His Intramedullary rod research incorporates themes from Diaphysis and Tibia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (46.35%)
  • Orthopedic surgery (19.53%)
  • Physical therapy (17.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Surgery (46.35%)
  • Physical therapy (17.38%)
  • Orthopedic surgery (19.53%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Surgery, Physical therapy, Orthopedic surgery, Internal fixation and Femoral neck. His Fracture fixation, Radiography, Randomized controlled trial, Arthroplasty and Intramedullary rod investigations are all subjects of Surgery research. His work in Physical therapy addresses issues such as Health related quality of life, which are connected to fields such as Health utility.

His work on Joint surgery is typically connected to Related research as part of general Orthopedic surgery study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Internal fixation study which covers Femoral Neck Fractures that intersects with Risk of mortality and Mortality rate. His Femoral neck research includes elements of Fixation, Femoral head, Hip fracture and Confidence interval.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fracture fixation in the operative management of hip fractures (FAITH) : an international, multicentre, randomised controlled trial (97 citations)
  • Management of Acute Hip Fracture (95 citations)
  • Own the bone, a system-based intervention, improves osteoporosis care after fragility fractures (28 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Orthopedic surgery

His main research concerns Orthopedic surgery, Surgery, Fracture fixation, Physical therapy and Femoral neck. His work on Joint surgery as part of general Orthopedic surgery study is frequently connected to Related research, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His study in Tibial plateau fracture, Implant and Intramedullary rod is carried out as part of his Surgery studies.

He combines subjects such as Internal fixation, Randomized controlled trial, Multicenter study and Hazard ratio with his study of Fracture fixation. His Physical therapy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bone health and Osteoporosis. Marc F. Swiontkowski has researched Femoral neck in several fields, including Hip fracture and Confidence interval.
