Resident Emmanouil Grigoriou, MD, was selected to present “The Geriatric Trauma Outcome Score: Validation in the Elderly Orthopaedic Population and Proposal of an Updated Scoring System” at a podium session.

His co-authors on the research are Sonja Pavlesen, MD, research assistant professor of orthopaedics; Basel Touban, MD, a 2018 graduate of the orthopaedic residency; Christopher E. Mutty, MD, clinical assistant professor of orthopaedics; and Mark J. Anders, MD, clinical associate professor of orthopaedics.

For more than six decades, the Orthopaedic Research Society has been a leading research society bringing together researchers and surgeons to give them a community for sharing new research findings, discussing new ideas and collaborating in innovative ways. 

It exists to accelerate musculoskeletal discovery for improving health and help achieve a world without musculoskeletal limitations.
