Orange County Shoulder Specialist
People sometimes compare us Orthopedic Surgeons to woodworkers. The similarities between us and woodworkers go well beyond hammers and drills. In order to be a successful shoulder arthroscopist one has to adhere to sound woodworking principles. When repairing torn structures such as the torn labrum one must: 1️⃣ Prepare the two surfaces (roughen with shaver), 2️⃣ Use the best glue you can find (patient selection w good healing potential) 3️⃣ Evenly compress with wood clamps (multiple well placed and tied suture anchors) and 4️⃣ Hold still until it heals (sling immobilization x 6 was usually). That’s it. Pretty basic right? Btw I was a certified wood manufacturing apprentice while at Anaheim High School. Not kidding!!
