Welcome to another edition of our #LiveSurgeryTuesday! In this video, Dr. Alejandro Badia performs a minimally invasive arthroscopic shoulder procedure on a patient who traveled to us from Trinidad, suffering from severe chronic pain caused by a large calcific lesion.
Watch as Dr. Badia utilizes a state-of-the-art disposable scope and voice-activated imaging to expertly navigate the joint. After carefully debriding the frayed superior labrum and extracting the painful calcium deposit from the subacromial space, the surgical team administers a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection directly into the site to naturally accelerate the healing process.
Throughout the surgery, Dr. Badia details the expected post-operative recovery timeline—including pain management blocks, sling immobilization, and physical therapy—while sharing stories from his recent travels to hospitals in India and interacting with our global viewers tuning in from Miami to Ecuador!
