Michael T. Gross – Evidence-Based Interventions for Osteoarthritis, Meniscal/Labral Lesions, Muscle/Tendon Strains, & Tendinitis

 As you return to patient care, you will be able to identify the scientific basis for changing practice patterns.

Michael T. Gross – Evidence-Based Interventions for Osteoarthritis, Meniscal/Labral Lesions, Muscle/Tendon Strains, & Tendinitis

• Protect articular cartilage from further damage, keep the original equipment & avoid total joint replacement
• Comprehensive strategies are required to ensure that repairs of labral and meniscal tears are successful
• Superior techniques for Treat first-time muscle strains so they don’t recur
• Effective protocols for Patients who have suffered multiple muscle strain recurrences
• How to protect tendon pulley mechanisms from tensile stress, compressive stress & frictional abrasion

This course will assist clinicians in making clinical decisions.-Taking your practice to the next level. The research behind the discussion topics is Dr. Gross accumulated over 30 years of research, practice and teaching. As you return to patient care, you will be able to identify the scientific basis for changing practice patterns.

If you could confidently answer the questions below, imagine how it could impact your practice…

1. What hand should you use for Is it possible to use the cane if a patient has knee valgus or knee varus?
2. What are the most appropriate clinical interventions? for Tendinopathies are when tendons wrap around tendon pulley mechanism?
3. What happens if excessive pressures are transmitted across epiphyseal plate?
4. How can young patients be helped to prevent apophyse avulsion fractures?
5. How can we help our patients avoid muscle strain recurrences
6. What are the most effective detection methods? for Labral lesions of the hip or glenohumeral bones?
7. What are the most effective detection methods? for Are there meniscus lesions around the knee?
8. These are the evidence-Guidelines based on research for Interventions for knee meniscus lesions as well as labral lesion of the hip and shoulder?

OUTLINE

OSTEOARTHRITIS

• Composition of the articular cartilage

• These are the 3 major destroyers of articular and scapular cartilage
• You should exercise in a way that protects articular cartilage against frictional abrasion
• Protecting your patient against impact loading
• Strategies to reduce contact pressure
• How to manage them: Conservative and invasive repairs
• Running shoes and foot strike patterns interact
• You thought you knew which hand to use when using a cane. for knee varus/valgus?

OBJECTIVES

1. Plan strategies for Protecting articular cartilage against further damage and keeping original equipment is key to avoiding total joint replacement.
2. Analyze strategies to ensure labral and meniscal tear repairs are successful.
3. Implement superior techniques for Treat first-time muscle strains so they don’t recur.
4. Evaluate treatment protocols for Patients who have already had multiple muscle strain recurrences should be treated so they do not have any more.
5. There are a few interventions that can be used to protect the tendon pulley mechanism from tensile, compressive, and frictional stress.
6. Implement effective strategies for Rehabilitating acute tendinitis and chronic tendinosis.
