Dr. Catapano’s research is focused on clinical outcomes after musculoskeletal injury. It is split between two topics in which he holds clinical expertise: rehabilitation after high-energy orthopedic trauma and ultrasound-guided therapeutic musculoskeletal procedures. He is involved in several randomized control trials, including the use of anabolic steroids for muscular recovery after high-energy trauma, as well as a leading author on numerous systematic reviews evaluating non-operative interventions for fractures and non-operative injuries.
