Ms. Kelly Jacoby | Orthopaedic Surgery | Research Excellence Distinction Award

Medical College of Wisconsin | United States

Kelly Jacoby has an extensive background in biomedical and clinical research, with a strong focus on orthopaedic surgery, biomechanics, and health technology evaluation. As first author, Jacoby led a retrospective study investigating the impact of social deprivation on reverse shoulder arthroplasty outcomes, encompassing data collection, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation, with presentations at multiple regional and institutional conferences. Additional first-author work includes a cadaveric biomechanical evaluation comparing barbed versus standard sutures in side-to-side tendon transfer techniques, aiming to optimize repair strength and facilitate early mobilization. Jacoby is also spearheading research on ChatGPT’s diagnostic accuracy in upper extremity orthopaedic patients based on patient-reported symptoms, integrating standardized surveys to assess AI-assisted patient engagement. Contributions as a second and third author involve multicenter retrospective cohort studies examining the effects of preoperative GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors on rotator cuff repair outcomes, as well as disparities in surgical treatment influenced by insurance and demographic factors. Additional experience includes collaborative studies on Type II odontoid fractures and preclinical neurobiology research at Marquette University, conducting behavioral and brain tissue analyses. Across these projects, Jacoby has demonstrated proficiency in study design, statistical analysis, data interpretation, and manuscript development, reflecting a commitment to advancing orthopaedic outcomes, healthcare equity, and innovative diagnostic approaches.
