Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter treats Nanette's non-healing shoulder fracture with bone marrow aspirate. The X-rays show inflammation in the humeral head after months without healing. He guides the needle into the fracture site and injects the bone graft to stimulate repair.
The cool thing about this bone marrow aspirate is just really helps that fracture heal. All right, so this is Nanette again, and we can see on her X ray where she's sort of broken. This is called a greater tuberosity fracture. And she broke right there. And this is months ago. And unfortunately, she hasn't healed that. That's where we're going to inject. X ray there. We can see we're right in that area. And then I'm just going to insert the needle. X ray there. Right there is where we want to put our bone graft. So that's right where we want to put it. The cool thing about this bone marrow aspirate is it just really helps that fract heel. She has a lot of inflammatory change in the humeral head there.
All right.
