Research summary
AI-generated

Randall T. Loder conducts research in orthopaedics and injury epidemiology, studying patterns of bone fractures, hip disorders such as slipped capital femoral epiphysis and femoroacetabular lesions, and the demographics of injuries seen in emergency departments. Much of the recent work analyzes national datasets on injuries from causes like road traffic, equestrian activity, assault, and intimate partner violence, alongside osteoarchaeological studies of skeletal remains.

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.
