☑️Robotic navigation brings a new level of precision to spine surgery.

During lumbar fusion, the ExcelsiusGPS system uses real-time 3D imaging and optical trackers to align each pedicle screw trajectory before placement. The robotic guidance sleeve holds the path steady while the surgeon advances the screw using a tracked driver, helping reduce variability and soft-tissue disruption.

Technology like this improves accuracy, but it’s the surgeon’s experience that makes every movement count.

Understanding Atherectomy 👉🏼 A Minimally Invasive Way to Clear Blocked Arteries.

Atherectomy is a procedure that removes plaque buildup from inside the arteries using a small catheter with a rotating blade or laser.

By restoring blood flow, it helps improve circulation and prevent complications linked to poor vascular health.

🔥 Pain or stiffness that flares up with movement? It might be tendonitis.

This condition happens when a tendon becomes irritated or inflamed…often from overuse or repetitive motion. Early treatment and rest can help prevent chronic pain or tears.

During a posterior cervical foraminotomy, precision bone removal is performed to decompress the cervical nerve root.

After the lamina and facet joint are thinned with a high-speed burr, a Kerrison rongeur is used to remove the remaining cortical bone over the neural foramen.

This step allows direct visualization and decompression of the nerve, restoring space for the exiting root and reducing pressure caused by bone spurs or disc material.

The goal is to relieve nerve irritation while maintaining the spine’s natural alignment and motion.

Nordic walking, a full-body form of walking using specialized poles, can actually outperform traditional strength or home exercises for people with hip osteoarthritis.

A 12-month study found it led to greater improvements in mobility, mood, and overall quality of life. (PMID: 27129607)

🚶‍♀️ Before starting any new activity, especially with joint issues, check in with your doctor or PT and ease in gradually.

Precision meets possibility. ☑️

Hybrid operating rooms combine advanced imaging and surgical technology in a single space, allowing spine and orthopedic surgeons to transition seamlessly from diagnostic imaging to intervention without moving the patient.

The result: shorter procedures, fewer risks, and more control in complex cases.

The quadriceps are a powerhouse group of four muscles that extend the knee and stabilize the leg.

▪️ Re**us femoris — the only quad muscle crossing both hip and knee, assisting in hip flexion and knee extension.

▪️ Vastus medialis — along the inner thigh, helps with patellar tracking and knee stability.

▪️ Vastus lateralis — on the outer thigh, provides strength during extension.

▪️ Vastus intermedius — lies deep beneath re**us femoris, supporting smooth knee movement.

Because of their heavy workload, quad injuries are common, especially strains, tendinitis, and tears. Weakness or imbalance can also lead to tightness, soreness, or reduced mobility in the thigh.

Drop a 🔥if you’ve ever felt your quads burn after a workout.
