Serious Injuries: Femur Shaft Fractures    The femur is the strongest and longest bone in the body. It plays a vital role in your ability to stand and move. A femur shaft fracture, or broken thighbone, is a serious injury that requires immediate attention.    At Polaris, we have treated and helped several patients recover from femur shaft fractures.    #fracture #doctor #injury #orthopedics #surgery #Femurbone

Trialing during hip hemiarthroplasty is essential to ensure the prosthetic components provide optimal function before final implantation. The stem must be rotationally stable, correctly oriented, and at the planned depth, which can be referred to from the lesser trochanter. Additionally, referencing the prosthesis height and center of rotation relative to the trochanteric tip helps confirm alignment. #orthopaedics #orthopedics #hiphemiarthroplasty #posteriorapproach #hipsurgery

An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It is one of the strong bands of tissue that help connect the thigh bone to the shinbone. These types of injuries most commonly occur during sports such as basketball and football.

🚨 **Tibial Eminence Fracture** 🚨 Tibial eminence fractures happen when the bony attachment of the ACL gets injured, commonly seen in young athletes 🏃♂️. These fractures can be classified into 4 types: 1️⃣ Type I: Non-displaced 2️⃣ Type II: Partial displacement, hinge intact 3️⃣ Type III: Fully displaced 4️⃣ Type IV: Comminuted (fragmented) When conservative treatments aren't effective, **arthroscopic repair** is often recommended 🛠️. This minimally invasive procedure helps restore knee stability and function. Outcomes are typically positive, with patients returning to their normal activities, including sports, after proper rehabilitation 💪. Mitek Sports Medicine DePuy Synthes in this case we used the Ideal Suture Shuttle to pass the suture tapes and a knotless healix anchor to fix the sutures. #SportsInjury #SportsMedicine #OrthopedicSurgeon #Orthopedics #OrthopedicSurgery #ElPaso #ElPasoTexas #ElPasoStrong #ElPasoTX #Knee #Pain #Surgery

G21 orthopedic bone cements, available in different viscosities, come with or without antibiotics: 🔹 Low Viscosity (G3-G3A): Ideal for hip prostheses and medium/small joints. 🔹 Standard Viscosity (G1-G1A): Suitable for knee prostheses and initial hip prosthesis phases. G1A and G3A bone cements with antibiotics contain gentamicin in the powder. The right viscosity prevents mixing with blood or fatty/bony materials while ensuring bone penetration. #G21 #BoneCement #PJI #PeriprostheticJointInfection #Antibiotic #Infection #Treatment #Orthopedics #Spacers

Listen in as Mark Copeland lays out the impact of The Total Solution on one facility, and the transformative numbers that came of it. They successfully consolidated 100% of the instruments from one surgeon’s total knee set (7 trays) down to 3 EZ-TRAX™ trays and saved significant shelf space by consolidating their 21 stored knee trays (3 setups) into only 9 EZ-TRAX™ trays.   Listen to the full episode to hear how this facility saw a reduction in SPD errors, OR turnover time, reduced costs, and more: https://lnkd.in/g2gQSxan Want to learn more about The Total Solution or talk with an expert?

The #Arthrex InternalBrace™ technique is a revolutionary advancement that augments primary ligament repairs, allowing for faster recovery compared to traditional procedures* and providing additional protection* during the healing phase. With extensive published research to support outcomes, learn more about what makes the InternalBrace technique an effective and practical ligament protective solution at #AOFAS2024 exhibit 411 or: https://lnkd.in/dyYjVAiQ #Innovation #Orthopedics #SportsMedicine #InternalBrace *Coetzee JC, et al. Foot Ankle Int. 2018;39.107110071774236. Kulwin R, et al. Foot Ankle Int. 2021;1071100720976071. Viens NA, et al. Am J Sports Med. 2014;42(2):405-411. The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗜𝗢-𝗥𝗦𝗔 The customized BIO-RSA involves a slight modification of the traditional BIO-RSA method described by Pascal Boileau. Typically, BIO-RSA employs a cutting guide with two slots (symmetric 7 mm and 10 mm, and an asymmetric 10mm x 12.5°) for producing the bone graft. In cases of combined or severe glenoid bone deficiency, compensating for the glenoid defects with wedge bone grafts or metal augmentation can be challenging. To overcome this, I opt not to use the BIO-RSA cutting guide, allowing for the utilization of the entire thickness of the resected humeral head. The graft is harvested using the BIO-RSA reamer, skipping the use of the BIO-RSA cut guide, and proceeding directly to humeral head resection with either intramedullary or extramedullary cut guides (perform stem, Stryker) Utilizing BLUEPRINT 3D Planning software, the glenoid defects are measured, and the desired offset is determined. Subsequently, the bone graft is adjusted accordingly to produce a patient-specific, customized BIO-RSA. The customized BIO-RSA can correct Glenoid defects along with lateralization to restore range of motion and shoulder contour. #shoulder #biorsa #shoulderreplacement #orthopedics #blueprint #mixedreality #shouldersurgery #surgery Stryker Stryker Joint Replacement Stryker Upper Extremities

I’m officially the shortest of all my cousins, as my youngest cousin has now surpassed my height in her teenage years.😂 For someone like me, who has crossed the age of natural bone elongation, there's one fascinating solution: the Ilizarov method. Isn’t it amazing how Dr. Gavriil Ilizarov, a genius from the remote Kurgan region of Siberia, transformed the world of orthopedics? 😍 Faced with the challenge of severe bone fractures, he invented an apparatus in 1951 that not only allowed broken bones to heal but also encouraged new bone growth through a process called distraction osteogenesis.🩻 This method has become a game-changer, not just for those looking to increase their height and boost their confidence, but also for correcting congenital bone deformities and complex fractures. The Ilizarov apparatus, with its intricate system of rings, wires, and rods, has helped countless individuals worldwide.⚙️ From the snowy fields of Siberia to cutting-edge clinics globally, the Ilizarov method continues to inspire and change lives. Whether it’s for medical necessity or cosmetic enhancement, this revolutionary technique stands as proof of human creativity and determination.💯 #Orthopedics #OrthopedicSurgeon #OralMaxillofacialSurgeon #IlizarovMethod #MedicalInnovation #HeightIncrease #BoneHealing #InspiringStories
