In a previous blog I discussed the clinical success of rotator cuff repair using expanded stem cell therapy. Today we had the opportunity to review MRI images of an elderly patient who also underwent the Regenexx procedure 2 years ago for a supraspinatus tear. AB is an 80 y/o patient with neck, headache and shouder pain. Her shoulder pain was severe and she was unable to lift her shoulder. ...

The rotator cuff is compromised of 4 principles muscles and their tendons: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor. Collectively they stabilize the joint and allow for movement . Tendons at the end of the rotator cuff muscles can become torn resulting in pain and restriction in motion. The majority of tears occur in the supraspinatus tendon. Typical presentation includes...

JM is 47 y/o athletic patient who had a 1.5 year history of severe shoulder pain and restriction in movement. He was unable to shave or lift objects from the kitchen cabinet with the affected arm. MRI was significant for advanced osteoarthritis, degeneration of the labrum and tears in the rotator cuff. Total joint replacement was the only option presented. This is a major surgery with extensive...

Vulcan Shoulder supports are commonly used for dislocated shoulder, frozen shoulder, broken collar bone, and rotator cuff injuries. In concept the neoprene support provides therapeutic heat, support and shoulder pain relief. The compression and warmth can also provide pain relief following shoulder surgery. How does it work? The support fastens securely around the shoulder with the Velcro straps...

Tears of rotator cuff are commonly repaired surgically where the damaged tendon is sutured or stapled onto bone. Failures can occur due to breakdown of the "repaired tendon." Rotator cuffs patches offer a possible solution. Rotator cuff patches are commercial products which are placed during surgery over the repaired rotator cuff tendon. The goal is to reinforce soft-tissue and facilitate...

Pain radiating down the arm after shoulder surgery can and does occur. The cause of radiating arm pain can arise from the one of many sources: inappropriate or prolonged positioning, cervical injury or aggravation and hematoma. First and foremost the arm is often positioned such that it is hanging and as such may be exposed to a inappropriate or prolonged traction and tension placed on the shoulder...

Rotator cuff surgery involves repairing one of the four principal muscles of the rotator cuff. Typically this is accomplished through arthroscopy in which the surgeon visualizes and repairs the defect through a small camera. Sometimes the damaged muscles and ligaments are too extensive and the shoulder has to be cut open. Rehabiliation post rotater cuff surgery is extensive. The intital phase...

“We did the right knee in March 2007. I was off my feet for about an hour after each of the treatments, but that was it. No long recovery time, no time off from work – it was great. The cartilage began to grow back, and the knee was feeling much better, so we did the left knee in October. Since about two weeks later, I haven’t had any pain at all in either knee for the first time in 10 years. It’s fantastic.”
— Kenvir DixonI’m back to my conditioning classes, doing squats, lunges, jumping rope and even a little bit of jogging. My knee feels, looks and works better every day. I’m definitely looking forward to the winter and getting back on my snowboard as soon as I can.
