Approximately 10% of fractures result in delayed union or nonunion. These cases result in pain and disability as well as increased utilization of healthcare resources such as pain medication, physical therapy, and subsequent surgery. Osteogenesis stimulator devices are a safe and low-cost, non-invasive option to aid healing in nonunion cases. https://lnkd.in/daYtYkkf #painmanagement #lowbackpain #spinalsurgery #orthopedicsurgery #opioids

Professor in patient safety with special interest in postoperative complications after hip and knee surgery, DMSc, PhD, MD, Department of Clinical Epidemiology Aarhus University Hospital
OPIOIDS AFTER HIP FRACTURE: The Problem and Challenge 📢 ⚠ 👉 Among patients who were not opioids users before hip fracture surgery, use of opioids within 3 months of surgery increased from 29% in 1997-1998 to 78% in 2017-2018. 👉 One year after surgery, 13% of patients were still taking opioids. 👉 The median MME did not increase over time. 👉 The most common used opioid in 2017-2018 was oxycodone. Our findings underline the importance of personalized opioid tapering and doses to promote early mobilization, and use of opioids with the lowest potential for addiction and other adverse events.

For patients, surgery is simply the first step in a potentially daunting recovery process. Pain is almost synonymous with surgery, and pain is something patients prefer to soothe at home as opposed to inside a hospital. Indeed, it is now more common for shoulder surgery to happen in an outpatient center or ambulatory surgery center. But one thing most patients are concerned about before surgery: pain. Check out this guide on pain management after shoulder surgeries for more. https://loom.ly/f4FTsaA #shouldersurgery #surgerycenter #painmanagement #ambulatorysurgerycenter #patients #surgery

Recovering from shoulder surgery isn't an easy journey. And, patients lean on their surgery centers for guidance on recovery. For patients, navigating acute vs chronic pain treatment is a major concern. It affects the patient's mental health, sleep, and other aspects of their lives. There are several ways to approach pain after shoulder surgery in a safe way and in a manner that suits the patient's lifestyle.

The SuperPath® hip approach is a portal assisted THA approach that accesses the capsule superiorly through the interval between the gluteous medius and piriformis without requiring the cutting of any muscles or tendons. Preserving the natural integrity of soft tissue is important in the stability and recovery of hip surgery patients, fostering a more natural healing process. This study found better clinical efficacy after using the SuperPath® approach with less muscle damage, less postoperative pain and better postoperative function than after using the modified Hardinge approach. https://lnkd.in/eAGyAEXC.

At MicroPort Orthopedics, we are committed to pioneering techniques that improve patient outcomes and transform lives. The SuperPath® hip approach is designed to preserve tissue and facilitate a faster, less painful recovery, setting a new standard in hip replacement surgery. This study underscores the effectiveness of the SuperPath® tissue-sparing hip technique, highlighting its benefits in reducing hospital stay duration and enhancing patient recovery times compared to traditional methods. Better clinical efficacy was found after using the SuperPath® hip approach, with less muscle damage, less postoperative pain, and better postoperative function than after using the modified Hardinge approach. For a deeper dive into the study and its findings, visit https://hubs.ly/Q02wtvgJ0. Discover how SuperPath® is shaping the future of hip replacement and why more surgeons are choosing this advanced approach for their patients. #SuperPath #HipReplacement #THA #MicroPortOrthopedics

Do you have a surgery coming up soon? Are you concerned about being prescribed opioids before, during, and after surgery? It's a common worry many people have these days. In fact, according to this Medical Moment article, "one in five people who have been prescribed opioids to manage pain from surgery find themselves struggling to stop taking the drugs after their physical recovery." With the Solo-Dex Fascile(R) cPNB catheter, we've introduced fast, simple, and reliable regional aneshtesia that continuously blocks pain allowing for safe pain management after surgery WITHOUT opioids. With our catheter, there's no guesswork. The surgeon can place a continuous nerve block that will remain active for at least five days after surgery. Our regional anesthesia provides you an easy transition to non-opioid pain management. This means you're able to recover comfortably at home with clarity rather than cloudiness after surgery.
