When children break a bone, the traditional process of inserting metal implants, only to remove them once the bone is healed, can be difficult, stressful and even harmful to their still-growing bodies. UCF biomedical engineer Dr. Mehdi Razavi believes there is a better way to heal bone damage. By us...

Plantar Heel Pain (PHP) is a common disorder with many treatment pathways and is not self-limiting, hence prognostic information concerning recovery or recalcitrance is needed to guide practice. In this systematic review, we investigate which prognostic factors are associated with favourable or unfa...

The present study aimed to describe the frequency and severity of tram-track lesions in anterior ankle impingement in athletes and to evaluate the association between osteophyte morphology and severity of tram-track lesions, the distinctive cartilage lesions associated with tibial osteophytes in ant...

Baseball pitching induces a large elbow valgus load, stressing the ulnar collateral ligament. Flexor-pronator mass contraction contributes to valgus stability; however, repetitive baseball pitching may weaken the flexor-pronator mass contractile function. The present study investigated the effects o...

To perform a systematic review of complications associated with elbow arthroscopy in adults and children.

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to radiographically describe, quantify and compare clavicular tunnel widening (cTW) of two different types of stabilization devices and investigate a possible correlation between cTW and loss of reduction.

To evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications after an isolated primary Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Radiographic measurements of initial displacement of tibial plateau fractures and of postoperative reduction are used to determine treatment strategy and prognosis. We assessed the association between radiographic measurements and the risk of conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at the time o...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cost-effective procedure, but it is also associated with substantial postoperative pain. The present study aimed to compare pain relief and functional recovery after TKA among groups that received intravenous corticosteroids, periarticular corticosteroids, or a com...

To determine whether the addition of an LET to ACLR would improve return to sport rates in young, active patients who play high-risk sports.
