We’re #MedStarHealthProud to be the first in the greater Baltimore region to offer a new arthroscopic approach to treat patients with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears. Our own Dr. Anand Murthi, director of shoulder and elbow surgery for the MedStar Orthopaedic Institute at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, recently treated a 65-year old woman with the procedure in less than two hours. The patient went home the same day. Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common sports medicine injuries, accounting for approximately two million doctors’ visits every year in the U.S. Click the link in our bio to find out how this new approach can lead to easier recovery. #MedicalInnovation #OrthopedicSurgeon #OrthopedicSurgery #RotatorCuffInjury #RotatorCuffTear
