The Chaos of Change

When creating works with clay, I am inspired by the natural form of my thrown pieces as a foundation for creation. Working in the round I use sgraffito to create designs inspired by nature, interweaving them with abstract shapes and lines to embrace the chaos of change. I incorporate words or poems that are representative of what I am experiencing from one season to the next. I believe the clay has a message which is already present, waiting to be revealed, it is my purpose to bring that information to light. The variation of shape in each planter encourages me to release control and expectation

Understanding and Treating Athlete Shoulder Instability

One of the most prevalent conditions among overhead athletes is shoulder instability. Decreased strength, limited range of motion, frequent dislocations, and the possibility of bone trauma in the shoulder joint are all associated with shoulder instability. Thus, medical professionals must educate athletes which treatment route – nonoperative or surgical – would enable a highly motivated athlete to make a quick and efficient comeback in participating along with the risks. The choice ultimately comes down to the patient’s willingness to endure a lengthier recovery period to minimize any risk factors or accept them for a faster recovery. This study’s purpose is to provide other medical professionals with critical knowledge so they can give their athletes the best quality care possible. This presentation will discuss available treatments, with an emphasis on the Bankart repair, Latarjet procedure, and conservative treatment when considering return to play timelines. The advantages and disadvantages will be discussed, as well as the indications for both surgical techniques. Using search terms such as “shoulder instability,” “athletic population,” and “return to play,” information from databases including EBSCOhost and the Journal of Athletic Training were acquired for this study. The QUEST tool was utilized to evaluate research articles for high-quality evidence; articles with a score of 22 or higher were deemed high-quality. This search produced recommendations to give a patient at least three months’ worth of conservative treatment before seeking surgical care. Thereafter, the optimal surgical course should be determined by considering all damage in the joint, including ligamentous issues or bone loss
