Research and Clinical Studies
Dr. Saper's research focuses on returning athletes back to sports safely after an injury. He collects details from his patients about how they do after surgery for a variety of injuries. He uses this information to improve surgical techniques and rehabilitation plans. In addition to individual research projects, he collaborates with other institutions as part of multi-center studies.
A few of Dr. Saper's ongoing projects include:
- Muscle Strength and Functional Performance After Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
- Depression Symptoms Following Arthroscopic Sports Surgery
- Non-operative Treatment Compared with Internal Fixation for Displaced Medial Humeral Epicondyle Fractures: A Multi-center Prospective Evaluation
- Clinical Outcomes and Physical Therapy Functional Assessments in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients After ACL Reconstruction
- Quadriceps Tendon Autograft ACL Reconstruction with Suture Tape Reinforcement
