The Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program would like to thank Dr. Jack Barrett ('72) for his continuing support of the two awards presented on Osgood Thesis Day: best basic science paper and best outcomes/clinical science paper. Following tradition, this year's Osgood Lecturer Dr. Nunley was asked to perform the judging.

Dr. Tavakolian was awarded best basic science paper for his study "Decision Analysis for Complex Proximal Humerus Fractures," which was praised by Dr. Nunley for its rigorous application of a decision model in order to bring evidence-based recommendations to orthopedics. Dr. Parisien was awarded the best outcomes/clinical science paper for his study "The Long Term Outcome of Allograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction." Dr. Nunley commended the study's long-term follow up and careful use of data.
