Orthopaedics: Bone Conserving Humeral Resurfacing Head. Watch this live
minimally invasive replacement implant surgery performed by David
Bailie, M.D. Chairman, Orthopaedic Surgery, Scottsdale Healthcare at 8
am MST (11 am EDT / 8 am PDT / 1500 UTC). Unlike a total shoulder
implant, this implant is designed to cap only the top of the humerus.
The implant requires less bone and cartilage removal, which makes it
much more conservative than total joint implants. The implant's design
allows patients to potentially recover more quickly and with less pain,
and is ideal for the younger or active older patient.
Orthopaedics: Spinal
Stenosis. The University of Maryland Medical Center will present a live
webcast of lumbar decompression and spinal fusion surgery at 5:30 pm
EDT (2130 UTC). The surgery will be performed to treat spinal stenosis,
a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on nerves in the
back, and a related condition involving slippage of the vertebrae known
as spondylolisthesis. Both conditions cause pain and weakness in the
lower back and legs, and many patients have difficulty in walking. View Webcast
Orthopedics: Surgeons at Morristown Memorial Hospital will perform a
not-so-widely used minimally invasive hip replacement technique live
over the Internet. The broadcast will take place Friday, June 18 at 2
p.m. EDT / 1800 UTC. The procedure, a 2-incision total hip replacement
surgery, allows the surgeon to remove a damaged hip and replace it with
plastic or metal implants through two small incisions rather than the
traditional 12-inch opening. View Webcast
Neurosurgical: Methodist University Hospital presents herniated disc
repair using MicroDiscectomy technique known as the METRx system, a
minimal access process with incisions smaller than a dime. See this
live at 4:00 pm CDT (21:00 UTC). Annually, more than 250,000 Americans
undergo surgery to remove or repair herniated discs, a leading cause of
back pain. While this type of operation eventually can improve
function, recovery time has traditionally proven to be painful and last
several weeks. However, a new MicroDiscectomy technique known as the
METRx system allows surgeons to repair debilitating herniated discs
using a minimal access process, with incisions smaller than a dime. View Webcast
Orthopedics:
Methodist North Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. will broadcast the
first-ever live surgical Webcast in the Mid-South on Thursday, May 20
at 4 p.m. CDT (21:00 UTC). Bret Sokoloff, M.D. with Memphis Orthopaedic
Group will perform an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, while narration
and commentary will be provided by John Lochemes, M.D., also with
Memphis Orthopaedic Group. Rotator cuff repairs are one of the most
common reasons for shoulder pain in people over 40, but it is not
necessarily a plight of just the middle-aged. View Webcast
