“On September the 5th, I tore my pectoralis major tendon while bench-pressing in the gym. The experience was miserable. Although the pain was minimal, psychologically, I was in in a funk for several days. Having never experienced an injury before lifting for 5 years, I felt like I was in a near grieving state mentally and my lifting future seemed very uncertain to me. My goal was to find an orthopedic surgeon who understands what resistance training means to me and how much of my life was built around an active lifestyle. I have no interest in sitting around and playing video games. Every hobby I have is active and I expect a lot out of my body. I was worried that whoever gave me a consultation would tell me to avoid lifting heavy or put fear into me about what activities I could partake in going forward. I received my MRI results and visited with Dr Abbasi at Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County on September the 14th. After the initial consultation, I felt much more comfortable and confident in the process. He explained what went wrong, how this was a common injury in athletic activity, his experience and technique for repairing this issue, and how the repair is strong enough that I would be able to return to 100% form and activity in the future (including benching). I went in for surgery on September the 22nd. It was my first ever surgery and he did a great job of making me feel comfortable. As soon as the surgery was complete, Dr Abbasi personally called my wife to inform her that it went well and that I was fine and awake. The experience of getting injured is never fun, but Dr Abbasi along with his experience has been a huge contributing factor to my ability to maintain a positive attitude and stay very optimistic about the future. I am now 4 weeks post-surgery, pain free, and feeling great. I am determined to return to true form and this highly-thorough orthopedic surgeon has given me the opportunity to do so. I would recommend Dr Abbasi to anyone. ”

Most people (unconsciously) want to have their life choices reinforced. Just say you want to go into academic medicine and be involved in resident education. Obviously, don’t lie about it but if you’re considering that, make it a central theme. Mention some form of research or volunteerism in orthopaedics and you have probably upped your chances of getting in. Sprinkle in something to make yourself memorable (hobby, past accomplishment) rather than another drone with terrific letters and board scores. If your main goal is to just make boatloads of money and be home by 3 pm, do yourself and favor and consider a profession that does not rely on working with health insurance.

Elevated T2* values across both medial and lateral menisci indicate that degenerative changes in patients with MMPRTs extend beyond the immediate vicinity of the posterior root tear. This suggests more widespread meniscal degeneration, often undetected by surface examinations in arthroscopy. https://lnkd.in/ePKhXxT4

*Can an ultrasound exam predict if a full thickness rotator cuff is repairable?* Short answer: Yes! Here is a level 3 paper published last year in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery International where we figured out how to answer that question. Spoiler Alert: If the tendon edge is clearly seen on the coronal then the positive predictive value is about 97%. https://lnkd.in/gQsm9KZ7

The causes of rotator cuff tear might vary and surgical approaches can differ, but there's one constant: the proof is in the repair. When RCT evidence highlights a 3x reduction in the risk of re-tear and better tendon integrity, what could the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant do for full-thickness tear repair outcomes?
