π New Study Alert! π Our latest research reveals that ultrasound assessment of the infrapatellar fat pad can detect Hoffa-synovitis in patients post-ACL reconstruction. A game-changer for early OA detection! #ACLR #UltrasoundImaging

Appreciate @MSUNews including our ultrasound research in the #MSUYearInReview25 highlights! ππ’ This work is one piece of our broader effort to identify which patients are at highest risk of osteoarthritis after knee injury π¦΅π©Ί so we can help prevent OA πͺ ! πΆββοΈπββοΈβ½οΈπ
A study led by kinesiology researchers @MSUCollegeofEd's @AIRLabsMSU, including @Harkey_MS, found that wireless ultrasound devices, which are smaller and more portable compared to standard machines, can provide athletic trainers and other medical professionals with similar information. go.msu.edu/kmk5
