Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Surgery, Arthroscopy, Rotator cuff, Upper limb and Orthopedic surgery. His Arthroscopy research includes elements of Anterior cruciate ligament, Elbow, Debridement, Endoscopy and Mini open. The Elbow study combines topics in areas such as Cadaveric spasm, Ligament and Valgus.

His Rotator cuff research includes themes of Tears, Physical examination and Cuff. The study incorporates disciplines such as Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis and Examination Under Anesthesia in addition to Upper limb. The various areas that he examines in his Orthopedic surgery study include Rehabilitation and Joint capsule.

His most cited work include:

  • T-plasty modification of the Bankart procedure for multidirectional instability of the anterior and inferior types (404 citations)
  • A Self-Administered Questionnaire for Assessment of Symptoms and Function of the Shoulder* (351 citations)
  • Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Elbow using the Docking Technique (293 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

David W. Altchek focuses on Surgery, Elbow, Physical therapy, Arthroscopy and Rotator cuff. His study in Surgery focuses on Orthopedic surgery, Tears, Upper limb, Range of motion and Tendon. His Elbow study combines topics in areas such as Throwing, Ligament and Valgus.

His studies in Physical therapy integrate themes in fields like Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and Epicondylitis. Within one scientific family, David W. Altchek focuses on topics pertaining to Shoulder joint under Arthroscopy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Shoulder surgery. His studies deal with areas such as Prospective cohort study, Physical examination and Cuff as well as Rotator cuff.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (60.22%)
  • Elbow (31.97%)
  • Physical therapy (25.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Elbow (31.97%)
  • Surgery (60.22%)
  • Physical therapy (25.28%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

David W. Altchek mainly focuses on Elbow, Surgery, Physical therapy, Ligament and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. David W. Altchek has researched Elbow in several fields, including Throwing and Valgus. His work on Ulnar nerve, Arthroscopy, Concomitant and Tendon as part of general Surgery research is often related to Cubital tunnel, thus linking different fields of science.

David W. Altchek interconnects Current Procedural Terminology and Retrospective cohort study in the investigation of issues within Arthroscopy. The Athletes research David W. Altchek does as part of his general Physical therapy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Return to play, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. While the research belongs to areas of Ligament, David W. Altchek spends his time largely on the problem of Tears, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cohort study, Medical diagnosis and Teres major.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Preoperative Short Form Health Survey Score Is Predictive of Return to Play and Minimal Clinically Important Difference at a Minimum 2-Year Follow-up After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. (58 citations)
  • The Relationship of Throwing Arm Mechanics and Elbow Varus Torque: Within-Subject Variation for Professional Baseball Pitchers Across 82,000 Throws. (50 citations)
  • Tennis Injuries: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment (50 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Internal medicine

His primary scientific interests are in Elbow, Surgery, Physical therapy, Ligament and Throwing. His research in Elbow focuses on subjects like Arthroscopy, which are connected to Rotator cuff. His study in Surgery is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Odds ratio and Incidence.

His Physical therapy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Epicondylitis, Rotator cuff injury and Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. His work on Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction as part of general Ligament study is frequently linked to Collateral, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Throwing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nonoperative management, Clinical case, Cohort and Ulnar collateral ligament injury.
