How This Doctor Is Changing The Field Of Orthopedics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dr.<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Alejandro Badia<\/a> had a long history of medicine from his family in Cuba. As an immigrant kid in New Jersey, he was partly raised by my grandparents, who lived adjacent to him since his parents were doing what he calls \u201cthe immigrant shuffle.\u201d \u201cMy parents were working long hours, and my dad was restarting engineering school at NJIT in Newark,\u201d said Badia.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent much time with my paternal grandmother, from Valencia, Spain, who had truly debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. I recall when she had her knee surgery (I think a replacement) and later, when I was only eight years old, accompanied her and my grandfather to see a hand surgeon in NYC at Columbia-Presbyterian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hand surgeon turned out to be Bob Carroll, one of only two hand surgeons<\/a> at that time since it was a burgeoning specialty. \u201cWell, 20 years later, I learned that my main mentor, Joseph Imbriglia, would later train under this mentor. Dr. Carroll was essentially MY grandfather of hand<\/a> surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That experience was etched in his mind as he read \u201cThe Making of a Surgeon\u201d at age 11 and later again at 16 before applying to college premed programs. \u201cDespite my modest public school education, I managed to gain acceptance to Cornell, and the rest is history,\u201d he said. \u201cI was involved in a research study at Cornell Med in NYC, where I had to perform microsurgery on a rat carotid artery. I realized I had an affinity for working under the microscope. Later, while at NYU med, I saw that Orthopedics was the specialty that best suited my personality: fast-paced, the ability to truly cure people, and undergoing a major wave of innovation. There was also an affinity to fitness and sports suited my lifestyle\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his surgical residency at the famed Bellevue Hospital, where the author of \u201cMaking of a Surgeon\u201d book also trained decades earlier, Dr. Badia<\/a> confirmed his specific interest in surgery of the hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of experience in the field, Dr. Badia concluded that sometimes a traditional emergency room could cause more harm to a patient than good when helping them with an orthopedic injury. <\/p>\n

The problem with emergency rooms is that they are not ideal for fewer injuries or certainly complaints of joint pain, for example,\u201d shared Alejandro Badia, MD<\/a>, board-certified hand, wrist, and upper extremity orthopedic surgeon with Badia Hand to Shoulder Center in Florida.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[692,145,613,529],"class_list":{"0":"post-7342","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-blog","8":"tag-disrupt","9":"tag-eng","10":"tag-healthcare","11":"tag-orthonow","12":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nChanging The Field Of Orthopedics -
