Did you know the strength of your foot muscles could affect your risk of falling as you get older?

In our new study, we found that smaller foot muscles on MRI were linked to more frequent falls in older adults.

💡 This means that keeping your feet strong isn’t just about walking — it could also help prevent dangerous falls and keep you independent longer.
Exercises that strengthen the feet and ankles may be a powerful step toward better balance and safety. 🦶💪

Can a smartphone camera help diagnose fractures?
Our team at FARIL-MGH developed FIXUS AI, a deep learning algorithm trained on smartphone-captured X-rays, to detect fifth metatarsal fractures.
 
Results:
• AUROC up to 0.99 (near-perfect accuracy!)
• Outperformed models trained only on high-quality hospital images
• Proves that AI + smartphones can be powerful tools in resource-limited settings 🌍
This breakthrough highlights how everyday technology can bring expert-level diagnostics closer to patients worldwide.

It was a true honor for us to meet Prof. Mohit (Mo) Bhandari—one of the most influential orthopaedic surgeons and researchers worldwide. As Editor-in-Chief of , Distinguished University Professor at McMaster, and Canada Research Chair in Surgical Innovation, Prof. Bhandari has authored over 1,000 peer-reviewed papers, led landmark global trials, and received both the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada. Beyond his extraordinary achievements, what sets him apart is his visionary approach: seeing the value of translational research, turning ideas into reality, and ensuring that science truly impacts patient care.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes innovation in orthopaedics.

When AI Catches What Codes Miss: Smarter Fall Detection with NLP
 
Our latest study shows that NLP models detected 98% of fall incidents vs. just 26% by ICD codes — and they identified the mechanism of falls over 5x more accurately. A game-changer for building better patient registries and preventing future injuries.

Which Surgical Fix Is Best for Chronic Achilles Rupture? 🦶📊
Our latest systematic review and meta-analysis compares FHL tendon transfer, hamstring transfer, and gastrocnemius-soleus turndown flaps for chronic Achilles tendon ruptures.
🔬 While functional outcomes are similar, complication rates vary significantly—especially higher with turndown flaps.
📈 Evidence-based guidance to help refine your surgical decision-making.

This past Friday, we gathered to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Mark Price — a remarkable orthopaedic sports surgeon, decorated veteran, devoted husband, loving father, and passionate researcher. His impact on our community and our field was profound. May he rest in peace.

We also had the privilege of celebrating the official opening of the Bioskills Lab at Mass General. Congratulations to Dr. Mazzocca, a world-renowned shoulder surgeon, and his team for launching this exciting new chapter in orthopaedic sports research. The FARIL team is proud to have supported this journey from its earliest days, and we look forward to the innovation and talent this facility will nurture.
