48 hours After Shoulder Surgery (Plating of Humerus) With Dr. Badia

Description

In this instructional video, Alejandro Badia discusses a surgical procedure involving the shoulder joint. He begins by explaining the components involved in the operation, particularly focusing on a specific screw that is crucial for the attachment of the subscapularis muscle at the lesser tuberosity. Badia highlights the importance of proper placement by examining the shoulder's anatomy, pointing out the cartilage location and the implications of any abnormalities. He notes that in this case, the head of the shoulder is impacted incorrectly, leading to potential motion limitations if not corrected. He explains the need to dis-impact and elevate the head to align it correctly with the shoulder socket (the cup), ensuring proper function and motion. Badia concludes with an optimistic note, assuring the patient that following the procedure, they will experience significant improvement and regain mobility in their shoulder.
