A congenital heart defect (CHD) is the result of the heart, or blood vessels near the heart, not developing normally before birth. For patients and families with a CHD, reliable medical innovations can be life-changing. Thanks to advancements in treatment, open heart surgery is no longer the only available option to correct CHDs. We are honored to develop solutions that address the needs of patients, as well as support the researchers and physicians who work to improve the lives of children living with congenital heart defects. #GoreMedical #CHDAwareness #1in100 #CHDAware #CHDWeek

Orthopedic Rehabilitation Protocols involve structured plans designed to aid individuals recovering from musculoskeletal injuries or surgeries. These protocols are tailored to specific conditions, emphasizing a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, and patient education. The overarching goal is to restore optimal function, alleviate pain, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life. The protocols often begin with an assessment of the individual's physical condition, followed by the development of a personalized rehabilitation plan. This plan typically includes targeted exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, gradually progressing as the patient advances in their recovery. 📞 Contact Dr GOPISETTY CHAITANYA KISHORE today to embark on your journey towards a healthier, pain free life. 💪🏥 Contact us at 09700117183 and book your appointment today.  #OrthopaedicRehab #MusculoskeletalHealth #RehabilitationProtocols #PhysicalTherapy #InjuryRecovery #OrthopaedicCare #FunctionalRestoration #PatientEducation #PainManagement #RehabJourney #OrthopaedicHealth #PostSurgeryRehab #TherapeuticExercises #ManualTherapy #OptimalFunction

Mental health conditions, including anxiety, are commonly used to arbitrarily exclude patients from beneficial surgical programs such a early discharge planning. This is despite evidence that these conditions are often situationally fluid. In our recent study, we prospectively collected in-hospital, preoperative anxiety and need for information (NFI) levels for patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty using validated APAIS and VAS-A scoring. 📊 Key Insights: -We found no correlation between high anxiety levels and increased length of stay, readmission or early complications. -Fulfilling NFI with pre-op education may also affect the presence of anxiety. 🔬 Conclusion: Mental health conditions, such as anxiety, should not automatically exclude shoulder patients from benefiting from programs like same-day discharge planning. Contrary to common misconceptions, our findings seem to show that these patients do not have higher rates of early complications. Implementing targeted preoperative education programs may effectively reduce in-hospital anxiety and support better outcomes. 📚 Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/gZtT5HBf #OrthopedicSurgery #Anxiety #ShoulderArthroplasty #HealthcareResearch #PatientCare #MentalHealth Hoag Orthopedic Institute

Home Health and Palliative Care are both necessary services that serve different purposes. Although they do overlap some, Home Health is a doctor-prescribed service that helps a patient recover from a surgery, illness or manage treatments. Palliative Care is more about patient symptom management and helping them transition into more advanced stages of a disease or condition. While both can have curative properties, home health is more focused on patient recovery, while palliative care is more focused on quality of life for a patient who is living with a disease. https://loom.ly/3br5Qig #HomeHealth #PalliativeCare #DoctorsChoiceHomeCare&Hospice

Pin and Clamp Constructs for Paediatric Proximal Humerus Fractures 🛠 Dear colleagues and seniors, I am reaching out to tap into the collective wisdom of the global orthopaedic community regarding the use of pin and clamp constructs for managing paediatric and adolescent proximal humerus fractures. In my recent cases, I've employed this method and found it valuable for achieving stable fixation and promoting fracture healing. 2 patients were less than 13 years old, and one was 17. And all of them demonstrated excellent outcomes. However, I'm eager to learn more about your experiences, techniques, and outcomes with this approach. 1. Effectiveness: How effective have you found pin and clamp constructs in your practice for maintaining fracture stability and alignment? 2. Complications: What common complications have you encountered, and how have you addressed them? 3. Technical Tips: Are there specific technical considerations or modifications you recommend to optimize outcomes? Your insights and shared experiences would be incredibly beneficial as we strive to refine our techniques and improve patient outcomes. Looking forward to a rich exchange of knowledge! #orthopaedics #paediatricorthopaedics #aotrauma #surgicaltechniques #orthopaediccommunity #pinandclamp #percutaneouspinning #minimallyinvasive

Article on tibial shaft fracture Tibia fractures are the most common lower extremity fractures in children. They account for 10 to 15 percent of all pediatric fractures. Fractures can be described as low-energy — caused by twisting or falls from standing height. walk on a fractured tibia It's unlikely that you'll be able to stand, walk or put weight on your leg if you have a fractured tibia. Because it's weight bearing, it's especially important that you don't try to “play through the pain” or ignore any symptoms. If you were in a trauma and you experience symptoms, go to the ER right away. Recovery time for a tibia fracture typically takes 4-6 months to heal completely. If the fracture is open or comminuted, healing time may take longer. Your doctor will often prescribe medications for pain-relief for a short period of time after the injury or surgery. A broken tibia-fibula is a fracture in the lower leg that happens when a fall or blow places more pressure on the bones than they can withstand. A tibia-fibula fracture is a serious injury that requires prompt immediate medical attention. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Your role in patient's healing counts...New research is underscoring the importance of physician empathy within doctor-patient relationships. Published April 11, the study tracked 1,470 adults with chronic low back pain over the course of 12 months. Patients who were treated by “very empathic” physicians and patients who were treated by “slightly empathic” physicians both reported on outcomes relating to pain levels, function, and health-related quality of life. The findings — which also compared physician empathy to treatments like opioid therapy and even surgery — are compelling. Dig into the results below to learn why empathy is especially influential in chronic pain patients.

PCL - Supporting The System : MSK HUBS In 2022/23, as part of a pilot scheme, PCL helped launch the MSK Hubs service for the LLR region. The scheme introduced community-based clinics for patients who were experiencing pain in their bones, joints or muscles but did not require surgical intervention. So successful was the pilot, that the Hubs continue to run and now boast 4 well-attended community locations within the region. The service is run by GPs with a specialist interest in musculoskeletal medicine. The Hubs offer patients shorter waiting times and an earlier diagnosis and treatment of issues - thus preventing deterioration. In turn this alleviates pressure on secondary care. Taking an holistic approach, the clinics also offer patient care around orthopaedic problems, weightloss and exercise. For those patients who go on to require surgical intervention, the guidance provided by the MSK Hubs ensures the patient has the opportunity to be in the best possible physical condition to undergo surgery. Patient feedback regarding this service has been excellent. As such we have applied for and hope for permanent funding. The MSK Hubs are a great example of what is at the core of PCL ~ supporting high quality healthcare delivered in the heart of the community : better for patients, better for the system. #wearePCL #patientcarelocally #patientexperience #nhs #patientfeedback #betterforpatients #betterforthesystem #highqualitycommunityhealthcare #healthequity
