Ward, MD, MBA, FACS, FAAOS A Thesis in the Field of Biotechnology Management for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2020 Copyright 2020 [Abner Ward] Abstract The goal of this work was to investigate a novel new technology being used to improve total shoulder replacements in patients with difficult to treat anatomy. The new technology is the use of three-dimensional (3D) implant creations that can be tailored to a patient’s specific shoulder defects as opposed to shelf, standard size implants. The project will help provide management direction to improve the efficiency in the global supply system so that surgeons in various parts of the world may have access to surgical components in the shortest time without significant delay. The study findings were that hindrances to 3D adoption for just-in-time surgical usage primarily include difficulties with sterilization and lack of a global validation metric when performed at multiple international centers, as opposed to one location in a single country.

But when is back to the job she loves at the 81-year-old from Chantilly began Louise Archer Elementary School. experiencing difficulty raising her arms to complete simple tasks such as brushing her hair or reaching up to a shelf, she knew something was wrong. Her limited range of motion also made it hard to do her office job at Louise Archer Elementary School in Vienna. Millie consulted Commonwealth surgeon David Novak, MD, who diagnosed advanced osteoarthritis in both her shoulders. When several months of cortisone shots failed to alleviate her symptoms, she opted for a total shoulder replacement on her left side. This procedure involves replacing the arthritic joint surfaces with a metal and plastic implant. The components come Dr. Novak is among just a handful of surgeons in the area who in various sizes and are either cemented or press fit into the bone. perform this advanced procedure. “Patients like Millie, with end-stage arthritis and intact rotator cuff tendons, who no longer respond to conservative treatment – such Following both of her surgeries, Millie wore a sling for four weeks. as NSAIDs, cortisone or physical therapy – are generally good She spent two months working with a physical therapist on exercises candidates for total shoulder replacement,” Dr. Novak explains. to regain range of motion and strengthen her shoulder joint.

Shoulder Replacement Commonly Asked Questions
Shoulder Replacement Commonly Asked Questions Patrick J Denard, MD Shoulder Specialist 2780 E. Barnett Rd Medford, OR 97530 541-779-6250 Background Information What is the anatomy of the shoulder? The shoulder joint is very complex and involves three bones and more than one joint. These bones are the clavicle (collar bone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Numerous muscles, ligaments, and tendons surround the joint (Figure). The upper end of the arm bone (humerus) and the outside edge of the scapula bone (glenoid) form a “ball-and-socket joint”. This joint is remarkable because it typically allows greater range of motion than any other joint in your body. WFighuerneis1a shoulder replacement needed? Shoulder replacement surgery is most commonly used for severe degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) of the ball-and-socket joint. When the smooth surfaces (cartilage) of the ball and socket become rough, they rub against each other rather than glide. This Updated May 2019 1 rubbing causes pain, stiffness and swelling. Most patients who decide to have shoulder replacement surgery have experienced shoulder pain for a long time. Many patients have developed pain that limits their daily activities, as well as interferes with their sleep. Shoulder stiffness also interferes with the use of their arm for everyday activities. A shoulder replacement is performed to alleviate shoulder pain. It also helps to improve the range of motion of your shoulder joint, which also improves your function and the quality Wofhyaotuarrleifteh. e types of replacement? The two most common types of shoulder replacement are an anatomic shoulder replacement and a reverse total shoulder replacement.

Arthroscopic Biologic Total Shoulder Replacement the Arthroscopic
Arthroscopic Biologic Total Shoulder Replacement The arthroscopic biologic total shoulder replacement is a new procedure that I have been working on for more than two years in partnership with my colleagues at Arthrex, Inc. The procedure is designed to resurface, a term used in orthopaedics to commonly refer to ‘replace’, the warn cartilage of the shoulder joint with transplanted donor cartilage and bone. In order to understand the rationale for developing this new procedure, it’s important to consider what is currently done to treat end-stage or late osteoarthritis of the shoulder. The hallmarks of symptomatic osteoarthritis in the shoulder, as with other joints, are pain and stiffness. Patients who have a painful stiff shoulder usually try conservative treatments in the form of oral anti-inflammatories, activity modification, or physical therapy among other modalities. Once conservative measures to relieve pain and/or increase function have failed, which will typically occur over time as part of the natural history of this disorder, operative intervention may be indicated. Typical operative treatments employed for arthritis in the shoulder include arthroscopic debridement with or without chondroplasty and capsular release, partial shoulder replacement, or total shoulder replacement. The outcomes for arthroscopic debridement and chondroplasty as well as other experimental procedures are unpredictable according to several studies reported in the literature. The most reliable operative interventions for the treatment of symptomatic late osteoarthritis have been reported with total shoulder replacement or partial shoulder replacements (hemiarthroplasty). These partial or total shoulder replacements involve removing a substantial part of the ball (proximal humerus) and/or socket (glenoid) bone and replacing the bone with metal and/or plastic.

Spinal Surgery Coding Pain Coding
Spinal Surgery coding Pain Coding CASE STUDIES, DISCUSSION ROBIN INGALLS-FITZGERALD, CCS, CPC, FCS, CEDC, CEMC CEO/PRESIDENT MEDICAL MANAGEMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT SPECIALISTS, LLC Agenda Discuss spinal procedures CPT PCS And more Spinal Fusions- PCS coding Some of the most complex surgeries to code in ICD-10 Spinal fusion is classified by the anatomic portion (column) fused and the technique (approach) used to perform the fusion. The fusion can include a discectomy, bone grafting, and spinal instrumentation. Spinal Fusions Anterior Column: The body (corpus) of adjacent vertebrae (interbody fusion). The anterior column can be fused using an anterior, lateral, or posterior technique. Posterior Column: Posterior structures of adjacent vertebrae (pedicle, lamina, facet, transverse process, or “gutter” fusion). A posterior column fusion can be performed using a posterior, posterolateral, or lateral transverse technique. Approaches: Posterior or from the back (most common); anterior through a laparotomy Spinal Anatomy Devices Interbody fusion devices —e.g. BAK cages, PEEK cages, bone dowels Autologous Tissue Substitute —bone graft obtained from the patient during the procedure. Bone grafts may be harvested locally using the same incision, or from another part of the body requiring a separate incision. Harvesting requires a separate procedure code ONLY when it is performed through a separate incision. Nonautologous Tissue Substitute —bone bank Synthetic Substitute —examples include demineralized bone matrix, synthetic bone graft extenders, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) Interbody Fusion Devices The interbody fusion device immobilizes the intervertebral joint to stabilize the segment for fusion. It restores disc space height and requires removal of all or part of the disc so that the device can be inserted into the disc space.
