“The BEAR® Implant will enable me to expand indications for ACL treatment, and clinical studies have shown some patients experienced faster recovery of muscle strength and higher satisfaction than with traditional ACL reconstruction,” said Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
November 30, 2021

ACL reconstruction is one of the most common orthopedic procedures in the country. Dr. Jonathan Glashow, a renowned ACL expert, is a top-rated, board-certified surgeon, who is trusted by professional and amateur athletes in treating orthopedic shoulder and knee injuries. Dr. Glashow successfully pioneered the first surgery using BEAR® Implant technology commercially in early October of this year. Unlike reconstruction, which is the current standard of care, Dr. Glashow was able to utilize the BEAR® Implant, which does not require a second surgical wound site to remove a healthy tendon from another part of the leg or using a donor’s tendon.

Miach Orthopaedics’ new Bridge-Enhanced® ACL Repair (BEAR®) Implant is a proprietary bio-engineered implant used to facilitate healing of the torn ACL. The BEAR® Implant was developed by Martha Murray, M.D., founder of Miach Orthopaedics. The implant acts as a bridge between the two ends of the torn ACL. The surgeon injects a small amount of the patient’s own blood into the implant, inserting it between the torn ends of the ACL in a minimally invasive procedure. The combination of the BEAR® Implant and the patient’s blood enables the body to heal the torn ends of the ACL back together and maintain its original attachments to the femur and tibia. As the ACL heals, the implant is absorbed by the body, within approximately eight weeks. This groundbreaking technology offers patients the advantages of restoring their ACL instead of reconstructing it.

“The BEAR® Implant will enable me to expand indications for ACL treatment, and clinical studies have shown some patients experienced faster recovery of muscle strength and higher satisfaction with regard to readiness to return to sport than with traditional ACL reconstruction,” said Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow

Sridhar Yalamanchili

Postoperative physical therapy, or PT, is usually the next logical step to reclaim your strength and improve the odds of a full recovery.

WEST ORANGE, N.J. (PRWEB)
November 30, 2021

Having surgery to tackle back or neck pain is a huge decision. But what comes after spine surgery? Postoperative physical therapy, or PT, is usually the next logical step to reclaim your strength and improve the odds of a full recovery, according to Sridhar Yalamanchili of Atlantic Spine Center.

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, about 500,000 lower back surgeries take place in the United States each year. Adding procedures on the middle and upper spine to this tally brings the total number of spine surgeries closer to 1 million annually.

“A considerable number of people opt for spine surgery each year to help tackle their chronic or acute back and neck problems,” says Yalamanchili, a physical therapist and Director of Rehabilitation at Atlantic Spine.

“Whether their procedure was a discectomy, laminectomy, fusion or another type of spine surgery, most of these patients would benefit from physical therapy afterwards to help them fully regain their mobility and ease their transition back to everyday activities,” he adds.

What PT involves

The biggest goals of postoperative PT are to help you manage any lingering pain and limit inflammation that can prolong that discomfort. On a broad level, then, PT aims to strengthen and stabilize your back and neck muscles by teaching you to move in safe ways and boost muscle function, Yalamanchili says.

“You may even start PT during your hospital stay, learning the safest ways to get out of bed or a chair, get dressed, or eventually lift and carry things,” he explains.

Once you’ve been cleared for a full course of postoperative PT – which typically occurs 2 to 6 weeks after surgery – your physical therapist will perform a complete evaluation to decide exactly what you need to move forward. This evaluation will include taking a medical history, particularly of any surgery-related complications; a postural assessment that looks at your spine while standing and sitting; range-of-motion and flexibility tests; and strength assessments of back, abdomen, hips and thighs.

Then, the real work starts. A regular schedule of PT appointments that continue for weeks (months) will include individualized exercises – both stationary and aerobic – based on your type of spine surgery and movements deemed to most benefit your back and neck.

Your physical therapist may also ease any lingering pain by applying ice to key spots; moving you into certain positions; and using special electrical devices such as TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units to send stimulating pulses across skin and nerves. The goal of this phase is to overcome the fear of moving safely.

“Ultimately, PT will teach you exercises and movements that are best for you by using weights, machines and your body’s own mechanics,” Yalamanchili says. “These exercises don’t just promote flexibility and strength, but help you regain energy while avoiding re-injury.”

Reaping the benefits

Research shows that those who exercise after back surgery end up with better outcomes than those who don’t, Yalamanchili notes. “It’s clear that postoperative PT is vital to help you get to a place of comfort and strength and maximize your surgery’s goals as well,” he says.

During the first 6-8 weeks it is important to apply careful loading to the healing tissues to make them strong and prevent re-inury. But it’s up to you if you want to reap the full benefits of PT, since PT isn’t always easy. “PT is a place to work hard and sometimes push through discomfort and exhaustion,” Yalamanchili says.

“Treat your physical therapist as a much-needed coach who wants to see you at your best,” he adds. “Complete recovery from spine surgery depends on you investing in your outcome by working both in PT sessions and at home.”

Sridhar Yalamanchili, PT, MSPT Cert.MDT treats a variety of spinal and upper and lower body musculoskeletal disorders as lead clinician in outpatient physical therapy at the Atlantic Spine Center.
