Symptomatic Focal Knee Chondral Injuries in National Football League Combine Players Are Associated With Poorer Performance and Less Volume of Play

Purpose: To (1) describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of knee chondral injuries identified at the National Football League (NFL) Combine and (2) assess in-game performance of prospective NFL players with previously untreated knee chondral injuries and compare it with matched controls.

Methods: All players with knee chondral in- […]

Multiligament Knee Injuries in Older Adolescents: A 2-Year Minimum Follow-up Study

OJSM 2017

Background: Multiligament knee injuries cause significant functional impairment. Adults undergoing anatomic reconstruction of multiligament knee injuries have excellent outcomes postoperatively. However, less is known about the outcomes in adolescent patients following multiligament reconstruction.

Purpose/Hypothesis: We aimed to assess patient outcomes and failure rates following unstaged multiligament reconstruction in an […]

Do Tibial Plateau Fractures Worsen Outcomes of Knee Ligament Injuries?

2017 AJSM

Tibial plateau fractures account for approximately 1% of all fractures; however, these fractures can pose a surgical challenge when occurring concomitantly with ligament injuries. Delamarter first described the patterns of ligament injuries associated with tibial plateau fractures, reporting that lateral tibial plateau fractures most commonly occurred with medial […]

Repair of Proximal Hamstring Tears: A Surgical Technique

2017 Arthroscopy

Proximal hamstring tears are among the most common sports-related injuries and are frequently seen during eccentric muscle contractions, forced hip hyperflexion, and ipsilateral knee extension and fall accidents.1,2 The hamstring muscle group consists of 3 posterior thigh muscles, including the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and the biceps femoris muscles. The […]

Let’s Discuss Series: Adolescent Sports Injuries


AAOS 2016

Adolescent sports injuries are being seen with increased frequency as a result of greater participation in youth sports at higher competitive levels, early sports specialization, and increased recognition of injury. These injuries have the potential to negatively affect the adolescent’s physical health and psychosocial well-being. In addition, these injuries may have long term […]

AOSSM Early Sport Specialization Consensus Statement


OJSM 2016

Background: Early sport specialization is not a requirement for success at the highest levels of competition and is believed to be unhealthy physically and mentally for young athletes. It also discourages unstructured free play, which has many benefits.

Purpose: To review the available evidence on early sports specialization and identify areas where scientific data […]

Biologic Treatments for Sports Injuries II Think Tank – Current Concepts, Future Research, and Barriers to Advancement, Part 1


OJSM 2016

Biologic therapies, including stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, growth factors, and other biologically active adjuncts, have recently received increased attention in the basic science and clinical literature. At the 2015 AOSSM Biologics II Think Tank held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a group of orthopaedic surgeons, basic scientists, veterinarians, and other investigators gathered to review […]

AJSM 2016

Rotator cuff tears are common and result in considerable morbidity. Tears within the tendon substance or at its insertion into the humeral head represent a considerable clinical challenge because of the hostile local environment that precludes healing. Tears often progress without intervention, and current surgical treatments are inadequate. Although surgical implants, […]

Validation of a Six Degree-of-Freedom Robotic System for Hip in vitro Biomechanical Testing

Currently, there exists a need for a more thorough understanding of native hip joint kinematics to improve the understanding of pathological conditions, injury mechanisms, and surgical interventions. A biomechanical testing system able to accomplish multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) movements is required to study the complex articulation of the hip joint. Therefore, the purpose of this study […]
