Kwadwo Owusu-Akyaw, MD As a Sports Medicine Surgeon, it is an honor and privilege to help return athletes at all levels to their highest potential.

If you ever find yourself unable to do what you love, let's make the journey back to health together. My specializations include operative and non-operative treatment of athletic injuries to the knee, hip and shoulder. I have extensive training in arthroscopic (minimally invasive) treatment of these injuries when appropriate. I additionally specialize in the use of Orthobiologics, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for non-operative treatment of joint injuries. I currently serve as the Company Physician for the Richmond Ballet. I have previously worked as a member of the medical team for the Brooklyn Nets NBA team, North Carolina Central University (Durham, NC), Duke University (Durham, NC) and Iona College (New Rochelle, NY).

Friday Research Round Up!

Multicenter Outcomes After Primary Hip Arthroscopy: Comparative Analysis of Labral Repair, Segmental, and Circumferential Reconstruction

A multicenter study of 416 patients compared labral repair, segmental reconstruction, and circumferential reconstruction at two-year follow-up. All groups showed significant improvements in pain and function, with no differences in patient-reported outcomes or rates of achieving minimal clinically important difference. This suggests that, when properly indicated, both repair and reconstruction techniques can yield excellent results, and rehabilitation protocols should be tailored to the specific surgical intervention and patient characteristics.

Are you paying attention yet?
Housing Discrimination created Areas of Deprivation. Athletes from Areas of Deprivatjon have less access to ACL injury prevention and timely ACL treatment.

Now think about the long term consequences of ACL injuries even when sports are over… pain, loss of mobility, arthritis…

disproportionately affecting communities based on their access to care. Now you see why sports health = community health.

Alvin H. Crawford, MD (b. 1939) Dr. Crawford became one of the first African Americans trained in pediatric orthopaedics and spent more than 30 years at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where he founded the Crawford Spine Center, now a world-leading pediatric spine program. An expert in scoliosis, neurofibromatosis, and congenital spine deformities, he has trained hundreds of surgeons, published extensively, and lectured in over 50 countries. His legacy is global, advancing pediatric spine care and mentoring generations of surgeons worldwide.

Pay attention… mobility, is one of the building blocks of equality. But access to it is not equal…

Historic discrimination created areas of deprivation - in those areas, sports injuries go undiagnosed at a higher rate. Joint pain goes untreated at a higher rate. Injury prevention is less available.

Orthopaedic care is not available to all as it should be. Until we realize that what affects ANY of us - affects all of us…we will continue to fall short of what could be.
