Dr. Gavin Webb has been published internationally on common childhood fractures.
Dr. Webb was awarded the outstanding clinical scientific paper by the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America when he presented the same article at their Annual Meeting. Entitled "Comparison of Short and Long Arm Plaster Casts for Displaced Fractures in the Distal Third of the Forearm in Children", Dr. Webb has presented on this topic nationally.
"This fracture occurs at the end of the forearm and wrist and is very common at this time of year when children are injured snowboarding and skiing," says Dr. Webb. His article details how the use of short-arm casts, which are below the elbow and interfere less in a child's daily activities, are just as effective as long-arm casts, which are above the elbow, if they are applied correctly.
Dr. Webb graduated from the University of Vermont College of Medicine and completed a fellowship in Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at New England Baptist Hospital in Boston. He is affiliated with Seacoast Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in Somersworth NH and has privileges at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, Frisbie Memorial Hospital, and the Portsmouth Regional Hospital Ambulatory Surgery Center.
Recently an assistant team physician for the Boston Celtics, Dr. Webb is a team physician for the University of New Hampshire and has particular interests in sports medicine and the treatment of cartilage injuries.
