“My AC joint separation procedure has helped many athletes, like Raoul Scott, get back to their sport quickly and successfully. His return to MMA cage fighting in only eight months post-surgery is remarkable,” says Dr. Steven Struhl.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Dr. Steven Struhl is a well-respected, board-certified NYC orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert and the leading shoulder specialist for providing optimal care and repair with his revolutionary patented AC joint separation surgical procedure. A grade III AC joint separation is severe, and professional MMA cage fighter Raoul Scott’s shoulder injury is very common in sports where athletes land on the point of the shoulder. Serious shoulder injuries such as Mr. Scott’s, when addressed promptly, can be reconstructed and repaired quickly and effectively through Dr. Steven Struhl’s breakthrough surgery. The patented process involves one small incision in the area of the clavicle, which allows this strategic surgery to be accomplished. This small incision minutely exposes the clavicle but is large enough to allow microscopic drilling in order to attach the two small plates (endobuttons). These two small plates are then carefully connected by a closed suture loop which is truly knotless, thereby eliminating the possibility of knot slippage or breakage, which traditionally has compromised surgical results. This allows for the damaged joint to have a more stable construct, leading to a reliable and consistent outcome. The excellent recovery and rehab time that Mr. Scott experienced by following Dr. Struhl’s protocols allowed him to return to MMA much earlier than expected. Professional athletes worldwide have sought out Steven Struhl, M.D. as their trusted and preferred, shoulder and knee specialist. His professional and friendly nature, accessibility and attentive patient care, while standing behind his patented AC joint procedure, truly make him stand out from the rest of his colleagues.
