Treating pain in the shoulder from osteoarthritis, a torn rotator cuff and a second abnormal rotator cuff tendon requires pin point accuracy. The patient failed to respond to other treatment and does not want shoulder surgery.Using high frequency diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging provides real time point of care information regarding shoulder pain, rotator tear and tendon abnormalities are identified. The ultrasound guidance of percutaneous injection of Lipogems fat graft regenerative cell therapy is deployed with pin point precision with visual confirmation of covering and filling soft tissue defects. We believe this contributes heavily to the significant improvement we see in outcomes.First imaging, you can see the needle guided to aspirate inflammatory fluid surrounding an abnormal bicep tendon (dark ring around bright white tendon in the center of screen. Looks like a "bullseye"). Once the bad fluid is aspirated the Lipogems is injected to bathe and fill the abnormal tendon with regenerative cell therapy.Second imaging, you can see the needle precisely guided into a rotator cuff tear followed by deploying Lipogems to completely fill the defect with regenerative cell therapy.Can an OptimumJoint traditional or regenerative medical procedure help me?
