Also, fun fact, you can’t search me by last name in the ACSM app because it only has 2 letters… 😅 Any chances on an update on that for next year, @ACSMNews?

🤔 What came first—the shape or the injury? ACLR patients have different femoral bone shapes than healthy participants… but why? 🤯Were these differences a risk factor for ACL injury or progressive changes that ⬆️ OA risk? 🦴💀…Or BOTH?! 😱 More research needed! 🕵️♂️🔍

🦵 We extract the underlying bone shape line from cartilage segmentations on ultrasound images to capture subtle bone shape changes! 📏📊 Our B-score accurately distinguished post-ACLR knees from healthy, uninjured knees—with 92% accuracy! 🤯🔥 📖 Figure👇explains it all📸
