RECOGNIZED BY ARTHROSCOPY: THE JOURNAL OF ARTHROSCOPIC AND RELATED SURGERY FOR THE QUALITY AND METHODOLOGY OF HIS RESEARCH ON ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF MULTIPLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ON THE SUBJECT FINDS DR BENNETT’S RESEARCH ONE OF TWO BEST STUDIES IN THE WORLD

William F Bennett, M.D., Bennett Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Sarasota, FL, https://www.bennettorthosportsmed.com/ , recently had his 2003 research paper, Arthroscopic Repair of Massive and Contracted Rotator Cuff Tears: A prospective cohort with 2 to 4 year follow-up, evaluated along with other research papers, from 2003 to 2014, on the topic by Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, Vol 31, No 12, December 2015.  The journal found Dr. Bennett’s paper one of the two best on the subject based on study design, level of evidence and quality.  The article can be found here: http://www.arthroscopyjournal.org/article/S0749-8063(15)00569-1/abstract

Dr. Bennett’s peer reviewed article reported upon Dr Bennett’s own patients’ surgical outcomes for arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears at 2_4 years after the surgery.

Dr. Bennett is gratified and honored by the recognition.  Having been a member of the editorial board for that very same journal for five years, he is well aware of the rigorous scrutiny and review articles published in Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery face.

In an article in the same issue of Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, on a related subject,  Utilization and Costs of Postoperative Physical Therapy After Rotator Cuff Repair: A Comparison of Privately Insured and Medicare Patients, http://www.arthroscopyjournal.org/article/S0749-8063(15)00529-0/references, it can be determined that Dr. Bennett’s patients outcomes for rotator cuff repairs fare measurably better than the norm.  The article finds that over 80% of privately insured and over 40% of Medicare patients are still undergoing physical therapy after six months almost none of Dr. Bennet’s are.
