Found an orthopedic cheat code!! This one is a game changer.
Non-invasive Focal Shockwave ESWT is nothing short of a magic eraser when it comes to shoulder calcific tendonitis!! πͺ
My patient says it all in the video - but in brief:
- She presented to me with excruciating right shoulder pain AND super limited shoulder range of motion π©
- Her initial x-ray showed extensive and dense inflammatory calcium in the supraspinatus tendon (see pic) π©» - she was previously told by another physician there was nothing else that could be done π€
- I suggested we try non-invasive focal shockwave treatments which I administer in our office over 2 weeks in three 7 minute sessions.
- Ok, so check this out - the 2 shoulder x-rays shown were taken only three weeks apart!! TBH, this result is nothing short of remarkable, as it demonstrates the near complete obliteration of the hydroxyappetite/calcium deposition in the tendon by stimulating her own body to reabsorb the calcium.β‘οΈ
- And most importantly, she got all of her motion back after the addition of 6 weeks of PT - NO surgery required!! π«
Check out that range of motion! ππ»π₯
Huge W for my patient!!

Modern Ortho had a great time at the 38th Annual Athletic Training Society of New Jersey Meeting in Atlantic City!
@peterdenoblemd presented on hand and wrist injuries in the student athlete.
His presentation key take-aways:
β
Hand and wrist injuries are often complex ποΈ
β
ATCs should consider developing a professional relationship with local trusted hand surgeon(s) who can offer rapid evaluations of student athletes to avoid delays in diagnoses, and minimize time out of sport.
β
Communication is KEY - Your hand surgeon team member needs to be comfortable and willing to call/text directly with the team ATC.

βOMG, Iβm getting my arm back!β π
The further I get into my career as an orthopedic surgeon, the more I have come to respect biology and the limitations of the π¨& drill + time by themselves!
Giving healing a boost with extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) has been a great add for our patients who are looking for quicker recovery post-op!!! π
For my patient here, she was 3 months post-op following golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis) debridement and repair. Despite 70% improvement in pain, some discomfort still lingered and she wanted to get better faster.
Check out her story below! π

Snowblower safety!
Never put your hands into a clogged snowblower, even when itβs turned off. There can still be a shift of the auger which can severely injure hands and fingers
