Video Summary

The presenters in this session discussed various research topics related to musculoskeletal and sports medicine. Dr. Patrick Schaefer presented a retrospective review of clinical complications from ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel releases. The study found no complications in patients who underwent the procedure using ultrasound guidance. Dr. Amos Song discussed a study on the characteristics of musculoskeletal ambulatory care visits in the US from 2009 to 2016. The study found that musculoskeletal visits were most common in the working age population and that orthopedic surgeons were the most common providers for these visits. Dr. Michael Harper presented on concussion management in wheelchair athletes, highlighting the need for further research and intervention in this population. Finally, Dr. Jonathan Kirchner presented a study comparing the efficacy of ultrasound-guided glenohumeral joint injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The study found no significant difference in outcomes between the two treatments.
