Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Pathology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Surgery, Anatomy, Ligament, Medial collateral ligament and Tendon. He has included themes like Millimeter of mercury and Compartment in his Surgery study. His study in Anatomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Knee Joint, Resorption and Deformation.

Wayne H. Akeson has researched Ligament in several fields, including Connective tissue and Atrophy. Many of his studies on Medial collateral ligament involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Strain. His studies deal with areas such as Wound healing, Biomedical engineering and Biomechanics as well as Tendon.

His most cited work include:

  • The carpal tunnel syndrome. A study of carpal canal pressures. (608 citations)
  • Effects of postmortem storage by freezing on ligament tensile behavior (494 citations)
  • Effects of postmortem storage by freezing on ligament tensile behavior (494 citations)

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

Wayne H. Akeson mainly investigates Anatomy, Surgery, Pathology, Ligament and Anterior cruciate ligament. His work in the fields of Medial collateral ligament and Tendon overlaps with other areas such as Articular cartilage. His Surgery research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spinal nerve, Anesthesia and Compartment.

His Pathology research includes themes of Wound healing and Glycosaminoglycan. His studies in Ligament integrate themes in fields like Ultimate tensile strength, Ultrastructure and Strain. His Anterior cruciate ligament research incorporates themes from Fibroblast and Extracellular matrix.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (40.21%)
  • Surgery (29.10%)
  • Pathology (17.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2015)?

  • Surgery (29.10%)
  • Anatomy (40.21%)
  • Anterior cruciate ligament (13.23%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Surgery, Anatomy, Anterior cruciate ligament, Pathology and Cartilage. Wayne H. Akeson connects Surgery with Articular cartilage in his research. His Anatomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Adhesion, Molecular biology and Cell.

His research brings together the fields of Ligament and Anterior cruciate ligament. His Pathology study incorporates themes from Wound healing and Integrin. His work carried out in the field of Cartilage brings together such families of science as Knee Joint, In vitro, Transplantation and Matrix.

Between 1994 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Articular cartilage transplantation. Clinical results in the knee. (263 citations)
  • Outcomes in Open Tibia Fractures: Relationship between Delay in Treatment and Infection (155 citations)
  • Long-Term Survival of Chondrocytes in an Osteochondral Articular Cartilage Allograft. A Case Report* (79 citations)

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

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Pathology

Surgery, Cartilage, Pathology, Debridement and Knee Joint are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Surgery, such as Retrospective cohort study, intersects with other areas such as Chondropathy. Wayne H. Akeson interconnects In vitro and Transplantation in the investigation of issues within Cartilage.

His Pathology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wound healing, Nerve root, Sciatic nerve and Medial collateral ligament. His Knee Joint research integrates issues from Ultrastructure, Significant difference, Ligament, Strain and Rabbit model. His research investigates the connection between Ultrastructure and topics such as Anterior cruciate ligament that intersect with issues in Knee flexion and Biomedical engineering.
