Jana Davis

Jana Davis, MD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Division of Trauma. Her research directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals for health and well-being through orthopaedic trauma innovation.

Her expertise spans critical trauma domains as evidenced by publication fingerprint analysis:

• Orthopaedic Trauma (core specialty)
• Fracture Management (lower extremity/pelvis focus)
• Infection Control in Orthopaedic Surgery
• Nonunion Treatment
• Trauma Health Economics
• Compartment Syndrome prediction

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal three dominant research trajectories: ballistic fracture complications requiring Level 1 trauma protocols, obesity/age as compartment syndrome predictors using national databases, and cost-benefit analysis of infection prevention strategies. Her work bridges clinical orthopaedics with health services research through novel techniques like internal cable-pulley systems for massive defects.

With an h-index of 43 across 14 research outputs spanning 2010-2025, Dr. Davis demonstrates sustained scholarly impact in trauma surgery evidenced by significant Mendeley readership and X platform engagement.
