The DS technique causes minimal damage to the patient’s soft tissue; thus, improving patient recovery experiences and allowing patients to return to their daily activities faster than ever before. The DA method causes considerably greater damage to the patient’s gluteus minimus muscle and tendon than is seen with the DS technique; in addition, the DA method damages the rectus femoris muscles and the tensor fascia latae, Dr. Roger’s DS technique does not.

The most common knee injuries and torn ligaments are in football. Some of these injuries could end your college season of football, and you would not even get paid once you have to stop because of an
This was my first time shadowing in which I observed an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction among a host of other surgical procedures. The moment the first incision was made will be a moment I never forget. The operating room moved a thousand miles a second, yet in slow motion at the same time. Watching Kate prepare the graph used to replace the tendon was a work of art. As I observed the surgeon asked me why the fluids in the joint capsule space were different between our two patients.

DOI: 4/25/2014. The patient is a 37-year-old male laborer who sustained a work-related injury to his wrist, left elbow, ribs, and head when the ladder he was on collapsed. MRI of the right knee obtained on 01/26/16 revealed the following: medial meniscus: Grade 2 mucinous change, posterior horn; discoid lateral meniscus; anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) partial tear; medial cruciate ligament (MCL) thickening due to sprain or stress change; 1.5 cm osteochondral lesion at the medial femoral condyle with differential diagnosis that includes osteochondritis dissecans versus old osteochondral impaction fracture; medial femorotibial joint space narrowing; and Patella chondromalacia grade 1/2.
Once the patient was asleep, he started by making a small incision on the kneed and inserting the scope which showed a full picture on the camera screens. One of his tools vacuum sucked all the torn ligament pieces away to make it easier to see the part that needed fixed. I got to see the ACL ligament and the meniscus. The doctor stated that it wasn’t as bad as many cases he had seen. When he was done taking out all the torn parts he left, and the assistant sewed her up, the patient was then taken back to get ready for discharge.
