DR ALEJANDRO Badia, recognised as one of the top hand surgeons in the United States, will serve as a opening speaker at the American Association for Hand Surgery 2015 Annual Meeting scheduled to be held in Nassau tomorrow morning.
Ofrecerá una presentación sobre lo último en "Maximización de la economía en un entorno sanitario cambiante" y "Lesiones deportivas de la mano y la muñeca" en Atlantis a partir de las 7 de la mañana.
Durante la reunión, el Dr. Badia, fundador y director médico del Badia Hand to Shoulder Centre de Florida, identificará las barreras que impiden navegar por el cambiante entorno sanitario presentando una solución de atención ortopédica urgente coordinada, cómoda, receptiva, asequible y ex- perta, y hablará sobre las lesiones atléticas comunes de la mano y la muñeca.
"Estoy encantado de estar en las hermosas Bahamas", dijo. "Mi misión ha sido y es siempre crear sinergia educativa y exponer la gran tecnología que permite que el procedimiento mínimamente invasivo acelere la recuperación, evite algunos procedimientos quirúrgicos y acorte la rehabilitación posquirúrgica. Este sistema proporciona a nuestros pacientes, en su mayoría atletas que tanto dependen de su excelencia física, una mejor asistencia sanitaria y mejores métodos y opciones de recuperación."
El Dr. Badia ha operado con éxito a muchos deportistas profesionales de todo el mundo, incluidos jugadores de tenis, polo, golf, NFL y NBA de alto nivel.
" Fracturas importantes de la mano o la muñeca occur only during high-speed contact or in older athletes who may have osteoporosis,” he said. “Complex fractures below the elbow can occur and there is a great variation in the fracture patterns.
It is important that an upper extremity specialist evaluate these injuries, as recovery of full wrist and hand range of motion is often difficult. Fractures of the upper arm (humerus) may also result from this injury and can even extend into the shoulder joint.”
Traumatic (acute) refers to any specific, sharp pain that is of rapid onset or pain that results from a specific traumatic incident such as an athletic injury. Traumatic injuries are more commonly seen in athletes who participate in certain sports that require a higher level of contact (football, hockey or wrestling).
The most common traumatic fracture injury in the athletic population is found in the fingers and include joint dislocations, sprains, muscle strains, broken bones, tendon inflammation and ligament.
Overuse (chronic) injuries are more likely to occur in athletes who engage in sports that require them to repeat a particular movement (baseball, soccer, tennis or golf). Overuse injuries are likely to be stress induced and include tendon inflammation and dislocation, nerve injury, and overuse stress fractures. Chronic injuries have a higher tendency to develop long-term effects.
Sin embargo, es menos probable que se produzca una discapacidad a largo plazo por lesiones por sobreuso que por lesiones traumáticas. El rendimiento de un deportista puede disminuir considerablemente si las lesiones crónicas no se tratan. La cirugía puede ser necesaria si las lesiones crónicas por sobreuso persisten y siguen desarrollándose con el tiempo.
“Arthroscopy for hand and wrist pathology is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to explore a joint from within. Tiny incisions are used to insert a fibreoptic instrument which serves as a camera to the inside of a joint and allows to not only diagnose a problem but often times concludes what definitive treatment should would be best for the patient.
This is opposed to the more standard technique of open joint surgery, which can result in increased scarring and prolonged recovery time,” said Dr Badia.
El Dr. Badia fue nominado en 2012 como "uno de los 45 grandes cirujanos de la mano y las extremidades superiores" por Becker's Orthopaedic & Spine Review. También está en conversaciones con las principales autoridades médicas brasileñas para organizar una conferencia sobre medicina deportiva antes de los Juegos Olímpicos de 2016 en Río de Janeiro.
As time goes on, Badia hopes to see his line of medicine considered a primary source of medical care. “There’s so much to think about when you get injured, and seeing the right person quickly can make a big difference.
If you can save money along the way, it’s really a win-win,” he says. “We are a more cost-effective solution with the potential to make a huge dent on the overall health care system.”
