@robgraymd I can’t tell you how true this is. I’ve been doing this over the past year and a half and it’s a game changer!

@orthobullets @generalorthomd @itius @JSanchezSotelo @lpcsmd @pmacdonald16 @JacobKirschMD @DrNMaassen @CowlingSurgeon @BrentMorrisMD Nice work! Always challenging cases but can be very satisfying once they clear. How do you manage the deltoid on these long exposures?

@BrettLevineMD Congrats Brett!

@generalorthomd A couple years ago I had a similar reviewer deny rotator cuff surgery to a patient who had undergone physical therapy, cortisone shot, and close to a year of conservative care because the full thickness tear on the report was “too small“

@orthobullets @RothmanOrtho @shoulder360 @PaulSethiMD @rish_parmar @DrRobHartzler @OrthoStrelzow @AnthonyRomeoMD @H2O_SportsMD @EauClaireOrtho @pmacdonald16 @umasrikumaran @shoulderMD Great case Joe. I find that these post-capsullorhaphy patients have very stiff soft tissue anterior and even if it looks intact sometimes it’s very hard to get a mobile subscapularis MT unit despite all the usual releases. Some cuff atrophy on sag CT. This is a reverse for me.

@orthotraumamd @orthobullets @OrthoShah @BannerHealth @RachelFrankMD @EauClaireOrtho @AnthonyRomeoMD @OrthoStrelzow @kburnsmd @DrRobHartzler @rish_parmar @PaulSethiMD I usually wait three to six months and make sure I open communication with the neurology team about optimization. The fact that his previous seizure was seven years prior to this incident makes me feel a little bit better.

@drgazihuri Opa reeee

@generalorthomd Had this exact same guy about six months ago. I love replacing shoulders but my trauma partner had just done his hip and we elected to see how it goes. I have to say that he did pretty well. Not as good IMO as a good reverse, but certainly better than a bad one.

An arthroscope is actually the name of a small camera that fits into the incision to help the surgeon examine and repair tendons in your shoulder. #arthroscopy #arthroscopicsurgery #surgeon #meniscus #shouldersurgery #sportsmed #arthroscopysurgery

Consider your clothing needs before your surgery. You'll want loose-fitting, button-up shirts that you can get into easily. Don't plan on over-the-head t-shirts for a while.

General anesthesia, as well as regional anesthesia, could be used in arthroscopic surgery depending on your medical background.

Patients can expect arthroscopic surgery to last usually anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Plan on resting in a recovery room for a few hours before having someone drive you home.

During arthroscopic surgery, your surgeon can also smooth arthritis in your joints. Consider this an added bonus to potentially improve mobility.

A simple range-of-motion test can help diagnose if you're a potential candidate for arthroscopic surgery. In most instances, physical therapy is the first option for recovery, but if you aren't seeing improvement, surgery may be the best option.

Have a question about arthroscopy? We take the time to answer any concerns our patients may have about the process.

Don't let physical therapy morph your mindset from "can do" to "not sure I can". Recovery can take some time, especially from a more prolonged injury. Take it one day at a time. Do the exercises you're supposed to and you will see progress.

RT @LoyolaSportsMed: Well done! 👍 RT @RamblersSB: Every single one of our ladies had above a 3.0 this semester when they were in season! T…

Arthroscopic surgery has made significant technological gains in the last several years. With better technology, patients experience smoother surgeries which improve recovery time.

Shoulder arthroscopy is the second most performed orthopedic surgery. Activities and sports that require repetitive overhead movement are at higher risk for injury. Be careful out there! #arthroscopy #surgeon #doctor #meniscus #shouldersurgery #sportsmed
