Research and teaching staff of the Department conducts research work on "The latest algorithms for the treatment of complications of high-energy trauma of the musculoskeletal system" within which Ph.D. theses are being prepared.

The main directions of research activities of the Department:

1. Improving methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.
2. X-ray study of anatomical features of the proximal femur and development of a method of minimally invasive osteosynthesis of the femoral neck.
3. Improving methods of diagnosis and treatment of pelvic fractures.
4. Studying a role and place of minimally invasive osteosynthesis in the system of surgical treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the tibia.
5. Justifying indications for the use of minimally invasive osteosynthesis method in patients with heel bone fractures.
6. Studying the rigidity of the "bone fragments – implants" systems with the model of a complex multi-fragment diaphyseal fracture of the tibia by different methods of bone osteosynthesis.

         7 innovations have been developed and implemented in the pedagogical process and practice, namely:

1. Hip and knee arthroplasty with the STRYKER system.
2. Minimally invasive osteosynthesis of fractures of the femoral neck with cannulated screws.
3. Minimally invasive osteosynthesis of transverse acetabular fractures of the femur with a gamma rod.
4. Osteosynthesis of fractures with LSP plates with angular stability.
5. Arthroscopic surgery of the knee, ankle, and shoulder joints.
6. Osteosynthesis of fractures of long tubular bones by blocking rods.
7.  Osteosynthesis of transverse acetabular fractures of the femur with DHS.

In addition, the scientific work of the Department is carried out in cooperation with the V. Bakul Institute for Superhard Materials with regard to the biomechanical substantiation of various methods of osteosynthesis of fractures of the lower extremity bones; with the National Aviation University with regard to the mathematical model to determine the optimal design of the external fixation device; with the "Reliability" Research and Testing Center of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute"; with the Department of Creep and Long-Term Strength of the G.S. Pisarenko Institute for Problems of Strength of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine with regard to the biomechanical substantiation of various methods of osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures.
