Special shoutout to my fellow Co-Chairs:
👏 @amandality.bsky.social – for leading the funding app + event planning
👏 Charles Day – for strong clinician buy-in at HFH
👏 Jane Manfredi – for bridging MSU Vet Med to MSK research

🙏 Thank you to:
🎤 Our bold, visionary speakers
🧠 Our engaged poster presenters
🤝 Everyone who showed up and leaned into the discussion

What. A. Day.💥

🦴The inaugural @henryfordhealth.bsky.social
+ @michiganstateu.bsky.social Musculoskeletal Research Retreat was an incredible success!

🤝~90 attendees from both institutions came together to build connections, share ideas, and spark collaboration.

Pumped to see our team’s work on early inflammatory changes following knee surgery take center stage at #ACSM25 today! 🧠🗣️🔥

We’re showcasing how ultrasound gives us a clearer view into joint health and recovery after ACLR. 🔬🦵📈

Just getting started 💪📊
#OA #sportsmed #ACLR #ultrasound

🚨 Now recruiting 2 PhD students @ MSU!

Join a funded study investigating early arthritis after knee surgery using:

– 🖥️ Ultrasound imaging
– 🦵 Movement biomechanics
– 🧠 Psychological & hormonal factors

Can you improve this??

✅While wireless and traditional ultrasound showed high reliability for cartilage thickness,

❌low reliability for echo-intensity persisted, even after pixel normalization.😕

⚡This points to room for improvement in ultrasound tech!

📷Examples across scanners & normalization

🏆 Wireless ultrasound is a game-changer!

🔬 Our new study in Osteoarthritis Imaging confirms that Clarius wireless ultrasound probes accurately measure knee cartilage thickness—comparable to traditional systems.

📊 A big step toward more accessible ultrasound technology!

🦋 Hello from AIR Labs! 🧪 We study how movement impacts knee OA after injury. Our research focuses on:

🏋️‍♂️ Biomechanics
🏃 Physical Activity
🩻 Structural Changes
📊 Early Symptoms

👍Our goal? Early detection & prevention of OA.

😁Excited to share & connect! #Ultrasound #Osteoarthritis #ACL #KneeHealth

🚨 Ultrasound + Bone Shape = New Research! 🚨

We developed a novel B-Score 🧮 using an ultrasound-based statistical shape model 🩻 to measure femoral bone shape post-ACLR 🦵
✅ Accessible
✅ Accurate (92%!)
✅ Early detection potential

📈Bone Shape Comparison 🦵

🔍 Ultrasound-based B-Score captures subtle but significant differences in femoral trochlear bone shape:
🟦 Healthy = Deeper trochlear groove
🟥 ACLR = Flatter groove
✨ B-Score thresholds identify these changes with 99% shape variance explained ✅.

📊 B-Score Accuracy 🎯

We validated our ultrasound-based B-Score to classify femoral bone shape post-ACLR 🦵

✅ 92% Accuracy 🏆
✅ High Sensitivity (97%) 📈
✅ Clear separation of ACLR (🔴) vs. Healthy (🔵).
B-Score = a promising tool for detecting post-ACLR bone changes early!
