E94: All About Shoulders | Kurt P. Bormann, MD

Описание: On this episode of "The Dr. Gil Show," host Dr. Gil welcomes his friend and colleague, board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kurt Bormann, for a comprehensive discussion on the intricate world of the shoulder joint and common ailments.

Dr. Bormann, who completed subspecialty fellowship training in shoulder surgery, begins by breaking down the complex anatomy of the shoulder, explaining the roles of the humerus, glenoid, labrum, capsule, and the crucial rotator cuff muscles.

The conversation covers a wide range of shoulder issues, including the difference between chronic wear-and-tear conditions like arthritis, bursitis, and capsulitis, as well as the perplexing condition known as "frozen shoulder" (adhesive capsulitis).

They also address the diagnostic challenge of pain referred from the cervical spine and detail surgical interventions, from minimally invasive arthroscopy for rotator cuff tears and bone spurs to complex anatomical and reverse shoulder replacements, the latter being a rapidly evolving procedure for severe damage.

Dr. Bormann emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and conservative treatment options, assuring viewers that surgery is always the last resort, while sharing his expertise on the cutting-edge of shoulder reconstruction.
