Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries with Dr. Bailie

This past Saturday Dr. Bailie joined Todd Ellenbecker and Host Carrie Bordinko, MD on Doctor Talk (KFNN Money Radio 1510 AM 99.3 FM, Saturday’s at 1:00pm). Dr. Bailie and Mr. Ellenbecker discussed shoulder pain, which is the third most common cause of musculoskeletal disorders and rotator cuff injuries.

The rotator cuff is the most commonly torn structure in the shoulder. Rotator cuff tears usually produce symptoms of weakness and pain especially on trying to lift the arm. When an acute injury results in a rotator cuff tear consideration should be given to a surgical repair within six weeks of the injury to avoid atrophy of the muscle and tendon.

Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common reasons patients enter an Orthopedic Surgeons office. There are many common misconceptions about rotator cuff tears and their management.
The rotator cuff is made up of 4 muscles which control how well your shoulder works.
Rotator cuff tears can occur because of an injury, trauma or simply because our tissue wore out.

Fast Facts:

• 4.5 million Patients seek medical care for shoulder pain annually in the U.S.
• 250,000 patients get rotator cuff surgery in the U.S. annually
• Those rotator cuff surgeries produce a societal savings of $3.44 billion per year; averaging $13,771 per patient younger than age 61
• The prevalence of rotator cuff tears increases with age

The new Biomet NANO stemless total shoulder, co-designed by Dr. Bailie

The new Biomet NANO stemless total shoulder, co-designed by Dr. Bailie, has been off to a fast start in Europe. Hundreds have been used for both primary and reverse should replacement with many European surgeon users raving about the simplicity and the ability to customize the device intra-operatively. In addition, the IRB/FDA approved clinical trial has started in the US at 12 centers, of which Dr. Bailie is one (the only center in the Western half of the US). He has enrolled and completed surgeries on qualified patients and will continue to enroll patients who qualify until he reaches the maximum allowed by the FDA. Great job Dr. Bailie!

Dr. David Bailie: resurfacing arthroplasty of the shoulder (specialized partial replacement)

Dr. Bailie has been doing resurfacing arthroplasty of the shoulder (specialized partial replacement) since the FDA approved their use in 2001. In fact, he was instrumental in bringing the technology to the US Orthopedic market with Biomet. This procedure is best for younger, active patients who are in need of pain relief from arthritis of the shoulder but too young to consider a full replacement.

He has performed this surgery on hundreds of patients with excellent mid-term and long term results. This includes active Olympic athletes, a Hall of Fame Major League Baseball player, many physicians/triathletes and "weekend warriors" who desire to maintain a very active lifestyle.

Below is a link to the video:

http://ortho.broadcastmed.com/4532/videos/bone-conserving-humeral-resurfacing

The video is a live surgery he performed as a webcast- broadcast live worldwide with an onsite moderator who assisted Dr Bailie in question/answers during the surgery. Viewers could send in questions live while watching the surgery and Dr. Bailie would demonstrate aspects of the procedure to help educate the viewers.

In addition, his work was published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, the most prestigious journal in Orthopedics Worldwide. He was asked to also write a book chapter in the prestigious text, THE SHOULDER (Ed Craig, editor) on this topic, which is shown below, and describes the procedure and his results. Long term data have shown that this procedure performs well over 10 years.
