Background: Distal triceps rupture is a rare injury that is commonly surgically repaired to improve elbow strength and function. Most patients are active and have goals to return to specific activities and sports. There is no gold standard rehabilitation protocol for return to sport (RTS) after distal triceps repair.

We study two models of overdamped self-propelled disks in two dimensions, with and without aligning interactions. Both models support active mesoscale flows, leading to chaotic advection and transport over large length scales in their homogeneous dense fluid states, away from dynamical arrest. They form streams and vortices reminiscent of multiscale flow patterns in turbulence.

Article Synopsis
  • Research is crucial for residency and fellowship programs, and an annual research project can enhance productivity, as explored through a review of presentations from a symposium over five years.
  • Out of 98 presentations analyzed, the overall publication rate was 54%, with residents having a higher first-author publication percentage (70%) compared to fellows (54%).
  • Feedback from current residents indicated a strong perceived value of the annual research symposium, supporting its importance in fostering academic development.

Background: The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is the primary soft tissue stabilizer to valgus stress in the elbow and is placed under this valgus stress during the throwing motion. Although there are known risk factors for UCL injury, it is unknown whether the UCL undergoes adaptive changes in athletes from different climates.

Purpose: To compare elbow stress ultrasound (SUS) findings between professional baseball pitchers from warm climates versus cold climates and assess significant differences in adaptive and morphologic changes in the UCL.
