Infected joints: surgery versus local antibiotics

This study is looking to compare the outcomes and cost of treating infected joints with surgery or aspiration with a needle combined with injection of antibiotics. Many patients with infected joints are too sick to safely go to the operating room for surgery, thus we are investigating outcomes and cost of less invasive treatment options such as using a needle to aspirate the joint and inject antibiotics.

ACC Student-Athlete Transition

There exists limited empirical evidence to inform the structure and content of the current NCAA exit interviews which restricts their impact on post-career health and well-being. This study hopes to bridge that gap and to understand the student-athlete transition experience including outcomes of mental, physical, social, and occupational functioning. In this aim, we are inviting you to participate in an evidence-based, survey addendum to the standard of care exit interview. A total of 120 individuals will be invited to participate in this portion of the study. A subgroup of 30 participants will be invited to participate in a follow-up interview. If you are selected for follow-up, we will reach out to you in no more than 60 days after the completion of this survey.
