Research summary
AI-generated

Joshua M. Adkinson conducts clinical research in hand, peripheral nerve, and reconstructive surgery, studying outcomes of procedures such as finger replantation, carpal tunnel release, and nerve transfers for injuries like brachial plexus damage. Much of the work evaluates surgical techniques, patient outcomes, and clinical practices (for example, opioid prescribing after surgery). The publication record also includes some collaborative neuroscience studies on brain activity in depression and cognition.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
