ABOUT OUR RESEARCH
ABOUT OUR RESEARCH STUDIES & PUBLICATIONS
TCO physicians, physical therapists, and research team have been actively engaged in clinical research for over 20 years and is dedicated to conducting research and quality improvement studies which provide benefits to our patients and advance clinical practice. We are widely published in the areas of sports medicine, arthroscopy, arthroplasty and patient-reported outcomes.
TCO is committed to furthering our understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedics and sports-related injuries. This is being accomplished through a multidisciplinary approach that includes thought leaders on musculoskeletal research, outcomes, clinical research, basic science, biomechanics, rehabilitation and performance.

FOUNDATION SUPPORT
Foundation contributions allow providers to stay on the forefront of medical innovation & technology
Research and education are core foundations of TCO, benefiting our patients and advancing clinical practices. Over the past few years, the TCO Annual Research and Education night has continued to grow and expand as we remain determined to stay at the forefront of medical innovation and technology. Presenting to peers and colleagues on specified areas of research creates a collaborative culture that fosters innovation.
Orthopedic research in action
In addition to patient care, many TCO providers also contribute to scholarly research studies and publications. In the past year, our providers researched the following notable topics: CMC/MP Fusion, Total Ankle Replacements, Knee Rehabilitation, Function after ACL Reconstruction, the impact of a 3D Motion Capture System, Achilles Repair, Opioids, Carpal Tunnel procedures, Non-Surgical Frozen Shoulder treatment, the TCO Bio Lab, and much more.
In 2023, we look forward to continuing to develop our educational programs, research studies, and publications.
Collaboration amongst orthopedic experts
