  Orthopedic Research Fellow

  As a Orthopedic Research Fellow with the Howard University Department of Orthopedics, I am studyingthe performance outcomes after surgical repair of spine injuries in the Women's NationalBasketball Association. The prevalence of spine surgeries among WNBA players raises questions abouttheir impact on player performance. This study aims to analyze pre and post-surgery performance ratingsof WNBA players to determine if there is a correlation between Spine Surgery and a decrease in playerperformance. By addressing this gap in research, we can shed light on an underrepresented communityin orthopedics - women's athletics - and provide valuable insights into predicting surgical outcomes andtheir impact on athletes' careers.
