Sushmitha Durgam studies musculoskeletal injuries and joint disease, with a strong focus on tendons, ligaments, and osteoarthritis in horses as well as some work on human joint tissues and cartilage. The research examines biological mechanisms of tendon and joint injury and repair, including the roles of inflammation, growth factors, stem cells, and biologic treatments like platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, and adipose-derived matrix in promoting healing. This work is aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment options for tendon, ligament, and joint injuries in veterinary and orthopedic medicine.
