Our newest #publication in @ShoulderElbowJ reviews #PRP for #partial #UCL #tears in athletes: ✅ 5 studies, 156 athletes ✅ 75% #returntosport at mean 82.1 days ✅ Reconstitution of UCL on MRI in 87% BUT: heterogeneous data, overall low quality - we need higher-level studies!


















In our most recent pub, we evaluated the quality of #YouTube content on #UCL injuries ✅ 120 videos ✅ Only 3 (2.5%) had "excellent quality" content (all physician-sponsored) ✅ Most "somewhat useful" for both diagnostic/treatment content ✅ Physician vids = lowest # of views
