Maximizing Impact Through Research
We believe in the importance of research in order to ensure that we are providing the highest quality of care for our patients today while also developing the cutting-edge treatments of tomorrow.
Our commitment to advancing the field through rigorous scientific inquiry and cutting-edge research is unwavering. We continuously invest in the latest technologies and techniques to provide our patients with the most effective and innovative solutions for their conditions. Our team stays at the forefront of sports medicine through dedicated participation in clinical trials, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and attendance at international conferences. We are dedicated to improving patient outcomes and quality of life through our tireless pursuit of knowledge and passion for the field of orthopedics. You can trust that when you choose us, you are choosing a provider who is dedicated to staying at the forefront of orthopedic care.
Early in his career, Dr. Fury realized the impact that evidence-based medicine can have on patients and society as a whole. He pursued training at two of the most academically-rigorous and thought-leading hospitals: Massachusetts General Hospital—the birthplace of EA Codman’s “End-Result Idea,” the pioneering philosophy of diligently tracking patient outcomes to measure results— and Hospital for Special Surgery, the #1 orthopedic hospital in the nation. With his mentors and colleagues across the country, Dr. Fury has performed award-winning research that has been presented at numerous international academic conferences. His work has been published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals including the American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Journal of Arthroscopy, Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of the American Academic of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics. In addition, he serves as an active reviewer for the American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Journal of Arthroscopy, HSS Journal, and Orthopaedic Journal at Harvard Medical School. He previously served as the Editor-In-Chief of the Orthopaedic Journal at Harvard Medical School, and he currently serves on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Arthroscopy.
Dr. Fury currently performs research on injuries in overhead athletes, elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries, shoulder instability, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthroplasty, and sports performance. He has performed research in collaboration with Major League Baseball, and he is passionate about returning athletes to prior performance—not just returning to play.
By measuring our outcomes and collaborating with surgeons across the world, we become aware of our performance, remain intentional about improving, and ensure that our patients are receiving the very best care possible.
Our Research
-
Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries
Injuries to the UCL are a source of significant disability and time away from sport in baseball players. We are working to improve our understanding of injury risk, develop better surgical procedures, and return our athletes to their prior performance.
-
Rotator Cuff Tears
Up to 22% of the population may have a significant rotator cuff tear. We are performing research to improve treatment outcomes and optimize the postoperative recovery from surgery.
-
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
An ACL tear is one of the most common injuries in the athletic population. Our research is improving the understanding of concomitant injuries, as well as the impact of ACL surgery on patients with open growth plates.
-
Shoulder Instability
Shoulder dislocations are complex injuries that disrupt the joint cartilage, labrum, bone, and stabilizing ligaments. We are working to improve the treatment of patients with shoulder instability in order to restore motion but prevent recurrence.
