A new surgical technique, known as the stemless, rotator cuff intact anatomic total shoulder replacement, is changing the game for active individuals by prioritizing biology and minimizing trauma to the bone and rotator cuff.

Kenneth Donohue, MD, Chief of Shoulder Reconstruction at Yale Medicine and Associate Professor of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, was the first orthopedic surgeon on the East Coast to perform this procedure.

By preserving a patient’s natural bone with a stemless implant and placing the implant in a way that does not detach the tendons of the rotator cuff, surgeons are now able to restore motion and function faster, without the need for prolonged immobilization.

Nobody plans on having a traumatic bone injury. An external force, such as a fall, car accident, or heavy impact, causes these types of fractures, which occur suddenly and severely. An article published by a Yale team in the Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research suggests that for patients living with these devices, the psychological recovery can be just as grueling as the physical one.

Ilda Molloy, MD, was interviewed on WFSB where she cautioned about the dangers of pedestrians walking in streets during and after winter storms. Even at slow speeds, a car vs. pedestrian collision can cause devastating injuries and require a long, difficult recovery.

City officials are urging residents to clear sidewalks outside their properties, warning that uncleared walkways force pedestrians into dangerous street conditions following Winter Storm Benjamin.
