Dr. Joshua John‑Ram Schacter presents a patient case (David Plant, age 70) who presented with significant right shoulder pain and a large rotator cuff tear with rotator cuff paralysis—resulting in marked weakness—necessitating surgical rotator cuff repair. The patient elected to receive adjunct orthobiologic therapy (referred to as a “gold package”) to support healing.
He had what's called rotator cuff paralysis, which means he didn't have a lot of strength in that arm. All right, well, I have David Plant here. David is. If you don't mind giving your age, you look much younger. 70. He's 70 years young and he is incredible. David, I'm just going to tell a little bit of your story, okay? That's okay. David came to us with a lot of shoulder pain in his right shoulder and when we did our evaluation, we found that he had a pretty large rotator cuff tear. Right. And you know, here at Pinnacle we really try and focus on non operative treatments, but in his case we didn't have much choice. He had what's called rotator cuff paralysis which means he didn't have a lot of strength in that arm and so we had to do a rotator cuff repair on him. Now one of the things that can really, really help particularly with rotator cuff healing is orthobiologics and he elected to do our gold package with.
