Ongoing clinical trials that we are participating in:

  • Stability 2: ACL reconstruction +/- lateral tenodesis with patellar vs quad tendon
  • OASIS: Open vs Arthroscopic stabilization of shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss
  • MVP trial: Comparing meniscus repair biologic augmentation: Marrow venting procedure vs PRP

If you are a surgical patient of Dr. Reynolds, you will be asked to complete electronic surveys before and after surgery to track your progress and outcomes on Patient IQ. We use this information to tailor your individual rehabilitation and for our own continuous quality improvement.
