Excited to share that as the MLS medical meeting approaches, my colleagues and I have published a manuscript on orthobiologics in kicking athletes! This article not only reinforces some of the clinical guidelines I follow especially in the treatment of soccer players but also highlights areas for growth in the orthobiologic literature. I'm eager to apply the insights from this research further in my practice and can’t wait for my discussion at the MLS medical conference!

The Biologic Orthopedics Journal is being launched as a new online resource of evidence-based research and analysis, along with thoughtful discussion and commentary related to approaches to orthopedic biologics, their use and their promotion. The Journal will pro Read More

Had a great Zoom call with a former high school student who shadowed me about a decade ago! Now a second-year med student, he shared a nostalgic picture of our time together during my days with the Atlanta Silverbacks, the city's original soccer team. It was humbling to see how far we've both come. He had some insightful career questions, and I was glad to offer advice. This picture brings back memories of that time—my younger self seeking opportunities and his eagerness to explore various aspects of healthcare, including sports medicine. It's inspiring to see how many players from that era have gone on to achieve great things in their careers!

Thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Sedgley! It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since my fellowship interview in sports medicine, where Matt was incredibly warm and welcoming faculty. Over the past decade, we’ve shared many memorable moments as colleagues in the field. This upcoming online talk I'm moderating with him is a wonderful reminder of our journey together. Let’s keep spreading positivity and supporting one another. Looking forward to an engaging discussion and lecture!

Just had an intriguing case of calcific tendinopathy in the shoulder! What made this case unique was the calcification localized only at the subscapular tendon—one of the rarest forms, seen in less than 5% of cases. After months of conservative treatment and battling insurance for percutaneous ultrasound-guided options, I performed the bedside barbotage procedure in-office. The patient experienced immediate relief, and the procedure was a success! Excited to help more patients with similar conditions!

Shoulder tendinitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, jumper’s knee, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis all have one thing in common: they’re injuries involving the tendons and fascia. A recent workshop at the Emory Musculoskeletal Center, supported by Trice Medical, focused on this very topic—how best to treat tendinopathy. The session provided a valuable opportunity for residents and fellows from various specialties to engage in discussion, ask questions, and practice the latest, cutting-edge techniques in tendinopathy treatment.
