REVERSE Thumbs-Up 👍 Restoring full active internal rotation after reverse shoulder replacement remains challenging, even for many experienced shoulder surgeons. Correct placement of the baseplate and glenosphere following balanced reconstruction and proper glenoid lateralization—without causing acromial overtension or neural overstretching—is essential, along with ensuring balanced humeral retroversion. Subscapularis repair is still debated, but I always aim for a tension-free SSC repair to protect the conjoined tendon from rubbing and fraying against the humerus, allowing smooth rotation of the humerus behind the tendon. The last patient in this video had his left shoulder reversed three years ago, and now it’s time to operate on the right one. In the end, one thing is clear: well-restored active internal rotation, with a bit of extension, earns a reverse thumbs-up 👍. #shoulder #epaule #chirurgieepaule #biorsa #shoulderarthroplasty #shoulderreplacement #orthopedics Stryker #mixedreality Stryker Joint Replacement #LIKE Stryker Upper Extremities #shouldersurgery #surgery

my ‘Fixed Reality’ in Shoulder Arthroplasty I’ve been implanting shoulder prostheses for several years, and by now, I know the process so well that I could perform certain steps with my eyes closed. However, there’s one part of the process I never skip before any operation: preoperative planning using 3D CT software. Without this detailed preparation, I wouldn’t be able to achieve the precision I strive for. Despite my experience, each shoulder joint presents a unique set of challenges—bone and tendon damage, pathological torsion, version, inclination, bone spurs, cysts, and more. This 3D planning isn’t just a rough guide; it’s the operative reality. I print it out, pin it to the wall in the operating room, and refer to it two or three times during surgery to ensure proper bone resection and placement of both the glenoid and humeral components based on the joint’s morphology. That’s the ‘fixed reality’ I rely on every day. #shoulder #epaule Arthrex GmbH Medacta International #biorsa DePuy Synthes #shoulderarthroplasty #shoulderreplacement #orthopedics Stryker #mixedreality Stryker Joint Replacement Stryker Upper Extremities #shouldersurgery #surgery Smith+Nephew

Doctor Jason Bloom has been using the revolutionary NekSpine device, and he's got some good insights to share. "Poor ergonomics in the operating room can seriously impact a surgeon's long-term career, but this cutting-edge technology aims to change that. The NekSpine features a sleek carbon structure that attaches to a specialized body vest, effectively reducing the strain on the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine – regions that often bear the brunt of the repetitive and awkward positions surgeons find themselves in. This innovative solution could be a game-changer for surgeons everywhere, helping to ensure their physical health and longevity in the field." - Doctor Jason Bloom #nekspine #longevity #myneckmyback #cervicalsupport #neck #surgery

REVERSE Thumbs-Up 👍 Internal Rotation After RSA: The challenge of implanting a reverse shoulder prosthesis is undeniably demanding for shoulder surgeons. Patients present with torn rotator cuffs and worn, deformed joints, yet their goal remains to regain full range of motion and improve their quality of life. It’s a tough battle against nature’s anatomy. However, the deep satisfaction we feel when our patients regain full shoulder movement after surgery keeps us motivated to take on this challenge time and again. For instance, the last patient had his left shoulder reversed 3 years ago, and now it’s time for the right one. Restoring full active internal rotation after RSA remains challenging, even for many experienced shoulder surgeons. Achieving balanced reconstruction and proper glenoid lateralization—without causing acromial overtension or neural overstretching—is essential, along with ensuring balanced humeral retroversion. Subscapularis repair is still debated, but I always aim for a tension-free SSC repair to protect the conjoined tendon from rubbing and fraying against the humerus, and to allow smooth rotation of the humerus behind the tendon. In the end, one thing is clear: a well-restored active internal rotation with a bit of extension earns a reverse thumbs-up 👍. #shoulder #epaule #chirurgieepaule #biorsa #shoulderarthroplasty #shoulderreplacement #orthopedics Stryker #mixedreality Stryker Joint Replacement LinkedIn #LIKE Stryker Upper Extremities #shouldersurgery #surgery

The orthopedic landscape in Europe is shifting with the increasing adoption of stemless shoulder implants. As patients seek less invasive options and surgeons embrace innovative technologies, this trend is gaining momentum. Curious about the driving forces behind this growing popularity and what it means for the future of shoulder replacements? Check out our latest blog post on the stemless shoulder implant market and its potential to reshape the orthopedic space in Europe. 🌍🔗 👉 https://lnkd.in/gMn4VYp6 #Medtech #Orthopedics #ShoulderImplants #HealthcareInnovation #MinimallyInvasive #SurgicalTrends #MarketIntelligence #iDataResearch

Incomplete rotator cuff tears can be frustrating and painful, but they don’t always mean surgery is necessary. These injuries, whether partial or full thickness, can often be managed with physical therapy, targeted stretching, injections, and other pain-relief strategies. The key is addressing the injury early and following a tailored treatment plan to restore shoulder strength and function. Make sure to follow for more expert tips (and check out Medohhealth.com) and guidance on rotator cuff injuries and treatment options. #cuttothebone #rotatorcuffinjury #shoulderpain #orthopedics #incompletetear #physicaltherapyworks #painrelief #shoulderrehab #mobilitymatters #injuryrecovery #healthtips #rotatorcuff #rotatorcufftear #Rotatorcuffpartialtear #Rotatorcuffincompletetear

When it comes to orthopedic surgery, precision is everything. That's where Stryker's Mako Robotic System comes in. While Mako isn’t a robot that performs surgeries on its own, it’s an advanced tool that allows surgeons to perform more precise and accurate joint replacements. This robotic assistance allows for better planning, improved alignment, and faster patient recovery The system works by providing the surgeon with real-time data and enhanced capabilities, ensuring optimal outcomes for each individual. It’s a game-changer in joint replacement procedures, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern medicine. The future of surgery is here, and it’s not about replacing the surgeon—it’s about enhancing their expertise. #Orthopedics #MedicalTechnology #Healthcare #Stryker #RoboticSurgery #FutureOfSurgery

Buoyed by an impressive 2024 so far, Nerve Tape could become one of VCU’s most successful licensing deals ever through its innovation pipeline. The pioneering technology was developed by Jonathan Isaacs, M.D., a professor in the VCU School of Medicine’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and chair of VCU Health’s Division of Hand Surgery. He wanted to improve nerve repair, whose traditional suturing techniques required precise alignment and significant time. Isaacs envisioned a simpler solution: a biologic wrap to streamline and enhance the nerve repair process. Like a piece of high-tech tape with tiny, flexible embedded hooks, Nerve Tape loops around and self-seals a nerve’s outer connective tissues, improving nerve alignment and promoting regeneration. “There is palpable enthusiasm among surgeons both in Virginia and around the country,” Isaacs said. “There is fair reason to be very optimistic that this is going to make a big difference in the future of nerve repair.” Read more via VCU News: https://lnkd.in/ggwpf-6U 🔗 #VCUSOM #MCV #research #innovation #patent #nerverepair #surgery #facultystories #facultysuccess
