The ASES has named Dr. Osbahr the winner of the 2013 ASES Research Grant, which was awarded for his proposal titled, “Impact of the Pattern and Size of an Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tear on Contact Pressure and Area in the Posteromedial Compartment of the Elbow.”
The ASES awards only one grant per year. Designed to encourage new investigators, the ASES Research Grant provides seed and start-up funding for promising shoulder and elbow surgeons conducting innovative research projects.
Dr. Osbahr also has been honored by the AOSSM. As the primary investigator, Dr. Osbahr’s clinical research project, which focused on UCL reconstruction in competitive baseball players, was awarded the 2013 O'Donoghue Sports Injury Award.
This award, recognizing Dr. Osbahr’s vast contribution to orthopaedic sports medicine research, is given annually to the best overall clinical based research dealing with orthopaedic sports medicine.
