Dr. Cannada:
My specialty is orthopeadic trauma. I was trained at the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland and I have been in practice, now I am in my eighth year of practice. I currently am affiliated with St. Louis University Hospital and my interests are mangled extremities, interarticular fractures. Women’s issues are very important, especially childbirth after pelvic fractures and pregnancy outcomes of orthopedic trauma patients.
Women with pelvic fractures are often told that they might not be able to have children during their hospitalization or that they might, or that they would need a C-section automatically just because they had a pelvic fracture but that is not true. We have proven that with our research.
