Recent Publication: Accelerated Versus Standard Physical Therapy in Patients with Transtendinous Rotator Cuff Repair: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study
Accelerated PT following transtendinous RCR is associated with significant improvement in AROM at 6 weeks and 3 months postoperatively. Further, the early motion may help obviate the development of severe postoperative stiffness without any evidence of higher rotator cuff retear…
Significant Publication: Functional Outcomes of Arthroscopic Acetabular Labral Repair with and without Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate
Patients with moderate cartilage injury undergoing arthroscopic acetabular labral repair with BMAC application reported significantly greater functional improvements when compared with similar patients without BMAC application. Martin SD, Kucharik MP, Abraham PF, Varady NH, Meek WM, Nazal MR. Functional Outcomes…
Significant Publication: Hip Arthroscopy Versus Physical Therapy for the Treatment of Symptomatic Acetabular Labral Tears in Patients Older Than 40 Years: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Our research concluded that in patients older than 40 years with limited osteoarthritis, arthroscopic acetabular labral repair with postoperative physical therapy led to better outcomes than physical therapy alone. Thus, age over 40 years should not be considered a contraindication…
Significant Publication: Translational Relevance of the Goat as a Preclinical Model of the Human Labrum and Chondrolabral Junction—Histological Study
The unique histology of the chondrolabral junction was identified in a caprine model. This unique type-1, crimped, loose collagen helps explain how the hip joint can withstand huge sheer forces over time. This discovery leads us on a quest to…
