Biomechanical Evaluation and Surface Analysis of Glenoid Reconstruction Using a Subtalar Joint Allograft for Significant Glenoid Bone Loss in Recurrent Shoulder Instability: A Novel Alternative Graft Option
Ganokroj P, Hollenbeck J, Adriani M, Whalen R, Drumm A, Garcia A, et al.
Am J Sports Med . 2025 Feb; 53(4):935-943. PMID: 39932372
Background: Glenoid and humeral head bone defects are common in chronic shoulder instability. The talus, and more specifically, the subtalar joint, has been proposed as a unique allograft from which...

Medial Meniscotibial Ligament Deficiency Increases Medial Meniscus Extrusion and Posterior Root Forces
Anderson M, Hollenbeck J, Drumm A, Whicker E, Brown J, Garcia A, et al.
Am J Sports Med . 2025 Jan; 53(3):666-672. PMID: 39838909
Background: There is growing evidence that medial meniscotibial ligament (MTL) deficiency and medial meniscus extrusion may precede the development of some medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) tears. However, no study...

The Use of the Anterior Labral Circumferential Onlay Technique to Reconstruct the Anterior Labrum and Biomechanically Restore Glenohumeral Joint Stability
Dey Hazra M, Dey Hazra R, Brady A, Ganokroj P, Brown J, Garcia A, et al.
Orthop J Sports Med . 2024 Dec; 12(12):23259671241271529. PMID: 39628762
Background: A labral injury contributes to glenohumeral instability. The Anterior Labral Circumferential Onlay Technique (ALCOT) reconstructs the labrum using the long head of the biceps tendon. Hypothesis: The ALCOT would...

Higher Modified Frailty Index Score is Associated with Increased 30-Day Postoperative Complications Following Surgical Treatment of Tibial Shaft Fractures
Mologne M, Quan T, Mikula J, Garcia A, Best M, Thakkar S
Arch Bone Jt Surg . 2024 Nov; 12(9):637-644. PMID: 39498216
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine if factors comprising the mFI were correlated with adverse outcomes following surgical intervention of tibial shaft fractures. Methods: We identified patients 50 years...

Females Have Higher Return-to-Sport Rate Than Males Among Collegiate Athletes After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Due to the Difference in the Type of Sports, Type of Impingement, and Prevalence of Severe Cartilage Damage
Nishimura H, Comfort S, Brown J, Garcia A, Afetse E, Jochl O, et al.
Arthroscopy . 2024 Oct; PMID: 39442765
Purpose: To investigate the return to sport (RTS) rate and the sex-based difference of collegiate athletes after arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Methods: Patients who were collegiate athletes at...

Outcomes of primary arthroscopic shoulder stabilization in active patients over 40-results at a mean follow-up of 7 years
Rupp M, Horan M, Garcia A, Geissbuhler A, Hinz M, Haskel J, et al.
JSES Int . 2024 Sep; 8(5):970-977. PMID: 39280160
Background: The purpose of this study is to report clinical outcomes, return to activity, redislocation rate, and rate of conversion to arthroplasty for active patients over age 40 undergoing primary...

Unicortical button fixation provides higher strength compared with transosseous repair for subscapularis tendon in total shoulder arthroplasty
Ganokroj P, Garcia A, Hollenbeck J, Whalen R, Brown J, Drumm A, et al.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg . 2024 Sep; 34(4):909-917. PMID: 39218347
Background: Subscapularis tendon (SSc) dysfunction after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) results in poor functional outcomes. There have been numerous SSc repair constructs tested biomechanically and clinically; however, none has been...

The effect of number of knots per throw, knot technique, and suture type on strength properties of suspensory fixation button surgical procedures
Apostolakos J, Garcia A, Buchalter W, Hollenbeck J, Hackett T, Viola R
JSES Rev Rep Tech . 2024 Aug; 4(3):424-430. PMID: 39157243
Background: Previous studies of the cortical suspensory button (CSB) implant have analyzed fixation strength as a function of suture type and surgical technique, but knot configuration remains an area of...

Higher modified frailty index score is associated with 30-day postoperative complications following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty
Garcia A, Quan T, Mikula J, Mologne M, Best M, Thakkar S
Knee . 2024 Aug; 50:88-95. PMID: 39128174
Background: There is no clear consensus regarding patient populations at highest risk for complications from simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine whether...

Biomechanical Comparison Between Double-Row Repair and Soft Tissue Tenodesis for Treatment of Proximal Rectus Femoris Avulsions
Nishimura H, Yamaura K, Stetzelberger V, Garcia A, Brown J, Hollenbeck J, et al.
Orthop J Sports Med . 2024 Feb; 12(2):23259671231213864. PMID: 38379581
Background: Some patients with proximal rectus femoris (PRF) avulsions require surgical treatment after failed nonoperative treatment. There is no consensus on the superiority of suture anchor repair with the suture-bridge...
