This video shares an 11-month surgical follow-up and new treatment check-in from Dr. Don Buford at Texas Orthobiologics, showcasing a patient managing multiple orthopedic conditions.
Key Highlights:
- Rotator Cuff Recovery (11 Months Post-Op): The patient originally underwent a surgical repair for a full-thickness tear in her right rotator cuff. At nearly a year out from surgery, she demonstrates excellent functional mobility on camera, easily extending her arm completely overhead and reaching around to the small of her back.
- Targeting Hip Pain with PRP: Having successfully rehabilitated her shoulder, the patient returned to the clinic to address a separate issue: chronic burning and pain in her right hip. On the day of filming, Dr. Buford performed an in-office Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection, utilizing concentrated platelets drawn from her own blood to help calm down the localized tissue inflammation in her hip.
