Elizabeth Yu's work focuses on spine surgery, covering topics such as cervical myelopathy, lumbar fusion techniques, spinal fractures, and degenerative spine conditions. A substantial part of the research examines health-services questions in spine care, including surgical outcomes, complications, costs, hospital rankings and mergers, bundled payment models, and malpractice litigation. This work would suit students interested in clinical and health-policy research related to orthopedic and spine surgery rather than laboratory-based science.
