On behalf of the Dalhousie Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research group, we would like to welcome you to our Research Night . We are excited to see so many familiar faces joining us in person, and thrilled that we have the opportunity to invite our fellows and colleagues from past years to join us again this year. In the past year, we have published over a dozen papers. We have presented our work at over 75 international and national venues, including conferences, webinars and live surgical educational broadcasts. We continue to have visiting surgeons learn our techniques and engage in our research both virtually and in-person. Thank you for participating in this year's event . We value your interest and involvement and we thank you for making this year's event a big success!
