Congratulations to Dr. Eric Sundberg for performing his 100th Arthrex Spine Endoscopic Discectomy!

🚨 Exciting Innovation in Orthopedic Care 🚨 Dr. Avi Kumar, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Coastal Orthopedics, has invented the netBiologics Gaudi Plate — a groundbreaking new device designed to treat shoulder fractures. After 20 years of research and development, Dr. Kumar performed his first surgery using this plate in December 2024 on Jean Totti, a patient who had an ironic twist to his story — his shoulder injury occurred in the very building in Barcelona, Casa Batlló, that inspired the design of the Gaudi Plate! This innovation is set to transform the way we treat proximal humerus fractures. Dr. Kumar is currently the only surgeon in the U.S. using the Gaudi Plate, and he plans to share his findings with the medical community after performing 10-15 surgeries with the device. 👏 We are proud to be part of this milestone in orthopedic care! #Orthopedics #InnovationInMedicine #ShoulderFractures #MedicalDevices #HealthTech #CoastalOrthopedics #GaudiPlate #SurgicalInnovation #PatientCare #SportsMedicine Read our blog post to learn more: https://lnkd.in/exh3UWbe

Congratulations to Dr. Andres O'Daly and his fellow researchers! Their paper, “Preferential motor reinnervation is modulated by both repair site and distal nerve environments,” was just published in Experimental Neurology. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing nerve regeneration after injury by exploring how motor and sensory pathways affect axon reinnervation. The team’s findings have significant potential to improve functional recovery and the accuracy of nerve repair, paving the way for future clinical advancements. #Neuroscience #NerveInjury #Research #Innovation https://lnkd.in/e5pAJjK7
