			<title>Reverse Passage of the Suture Lasso in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;Suture passage in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can be technically difficult. The suture lasso is typically passed antegrade from the bursal side of the rotator cuff. Antegrade passage of the suture lasso can be particularly difficult when visualization is limited. Reverse passage of the suture lasso from the undersurface can be used to place sutures in technically challenging circumstances. The suture lasso is placed retrograde through the undersurface of the rotator cuff and used as a suture shuttle to bring sutures back through the rotator cuff. This technique is easily reproducible and cost-effective, and it requires only 2 working arthroscopy portals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;Am J Orthop. 2009;38(12):633-634.

Historically, the relationship between sport and medicine was adversarial because of conflicts between health and sport. However, modern sports medicine has emerged with the goal of improving performance and preventing injury, and the concept of the &quot;team physician&quot; has become an integral part of athletic culture. With this distinction come unique ethical challenges because the customary ethical norms for most forms of clinical practice, such as confidentiality and patient autonomy, cannot be translated easily into sports medicine. The particular areas of medical ethics that present unique challenges in sports medicine are informed consent, third parties, advertising, confidentiality, drug use, and innovative technology. Unfortunately, there is no widely accepted code of sports medicine ethics that adequately addresses these issues.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=&quot;abstract&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Verdana&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;font-size: 12.6px; line-height: 15px;&quot;&gt;American Journal of Sports Medicine 2007,&#160;&lt;SPAN class=&quot;ti&quot;&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;line-height: normal; &quot;&gt;May;35(5):840-4.

			<description>


&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;B&gt;(ABSTRACT)&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The use if suture anchors in shoulder surgery has facilitated the rapid advancement of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques. Innumerable anchor types have been developed which allow stronger, rapid, more effective arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. Abundant research has been performed to maximize the efficacy of suture anchors in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The article reviews the literature regarding implant designs, technical considerations, clinical results, and complications of suture anchors in the arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tears.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;I&gt;Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine:&#160; &lt;/I&gt;Vol. 12, Iss.4; October 2004 (210-214)&lt;/DIV&gt;

			<title>Locked knee caused by meniscal subluxation: magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic verification.</title>

&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12.6px; line-height: 15px;&quot;&gt;Subluxation
or dislocation of an intact lateral meniscus is a controversial and
rarely reported cause of knee pain and locking. We report a case of
knee locking caused by lateral meniscal subluxation in the absence of a
meniscal tear or true discoid meniscus, with both magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) and arthroscopic verification. A 9.5-year-old child
experienced multiple episodes of locking in full flexion of the knee.
After 6 months of symptoms, arthroscopy was performed and showed no
meniscal tear or a discoid meniscus. The patient's knee locking
recurred after arthroscopy. MRI was performed when the patient
presented acutely with the knee locked. MRI showed anterior dislocation
of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus with the knee in the
locked position. The MRI was immediately repeated after the author
reduced (manipulated) the locked knee into extension. On the repeat
MRI, the lateral meniscus had returned to a normal position. On repeat
arthroscopy, the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus was hypermobile
and could be displaced into the notch and did not show a frank tear.
The meniscus was repaired to the capsule with sutures. At the 2-year
follow-up evaluation, the patient had no complaints and no clinical
signs of locking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.3px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

the Sauve-Kapandji procedure for the treatment of distal radio-ulnar
joint derangement following malunion of dorsally displaced, unstable,
intraarticular fractures of the distal radius in patients under 50
years of age. Twelve of 18 possible patients in the Sauve-Kapandji
group completed the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand survey
at a mean of 4 years postoperatively and nine of the 18 returned for a
follow-up examination at a mean of 2 years. Twenty-one of 30 possible
patients in the Darrach group completed the disabilities of the arm,
shoulder, and hand survey at a mean of 6 years postoperatively and 13
of these 30 returned for follow-up examination at a mean of 4 years.
The Darrach procedure and the Sauve-Kapandji procedure yielded
comparable and unpredictable results with respect to both subjective
and objective parameters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Subacromial impingement syndrome is a common cause of
shoulder pain. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical
presentation, physical examination findings, and differential diagnosis
of impingement syndrome. Using an evidence-based approach, we propose
an algorithm for the management of subacromial impingement syndrome
including indications for nonoperative management, advanced imaging,
and operative management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

cruciate ligament reconstruction is commonly performed using the
all-endoscopic (also known as all-inside or single-incision) method or
the rear-entry (also known as outside-in or two-incision) method. We
report a systematic review of four prospective, randomized clinical
trials comparing these two operative techniques. Operative time was
shorter in the all-endoscopic groups in two studies. A higher
percentage of patients in the rear-entry group had a difference of 3 mm
or less on the KT-2000 arthrometer, although the two surgical
techniques were similar in the other studies. A higher rate of return
to full activity was achieved in patients undergoing the rear-entry
technique in one study. All four studies were similar in pain
medication used, progression of rehabilitation, range of motion,
quadriceps or hamstring strength, patellofemoral pain, one-leg hop
test, Lysholm, Tegner, and International Knee Documentation Committee
scores. Overall, these studies show similar outcomes comparing the
all-endoscopic and rear-entry anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
techniques.&lt;/P&gt;

			<title>Shoulder Labral Tears</title>
			<description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;SHOULDER LABRAL TEARS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The shoulder joint is composed of a ball (humeral head)
and a socket (glenoid). The glenoid has a greater radius of curvature
than the humeral head, making the shoulder inherently unstable. &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A rim of fibrous tissue (labrum) surrounds the socket and acts as a
bumper to help keep the shoulder joint stable. The labrum also serves
as the attachment of the biceps tendon as well as several stabilizing
ligaments of the shoulder. Injuries to the shoulder such as
dislocations and falling on the outstretched arm can cause the labrum
to tear off of the bone. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;
What are the symptoms?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Tears in the front of the socket are called Bankart tears and lead to
recurrent instability of the shoulder. This leads to shoulder weakness
and a feeling that the joint is slipping out of place. &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Tears at the top of the labrum near the biceps tendon attachment are
called SLAP tears, which stands for Superior Labrum Anterior to
Posterior. SLAP tears can cause pain with lifting and overhead
reaching, as well as popping, catching, or clicking. &lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; X-rays can show bony injuries that may contribute to the
shoulder pain and instability, although the labrum cannot be seen on
xray. On physical exam, special tests are performed to determine the
cause of the shoulder symptoms.MRI is used to visualize the soft
tissues of the shoulder including the labrum and the rotator cuff.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;
How are they Treated?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In some cases, physical therapy and anti-inflammatory
medications may help relieve the symptoms. When a labral tear is
present and conservative treatment has not improved the symptoms,
surgery may be necessary. In the past, operative treatment of shoulder
instability consisted of open surgery with large, painful incisions and
slow recovery. &lt;br&gt;
Recent advancements in shoulder arthroscopy have allowed
Bankart and SLAP repairs to be performed via small, arthroscopic
incisions, which speed recovery and minimize postoperative pain and
stiffness. The labrum is re-attached with sutures that also repair the
torn shoulder ligaments and tendons. Rehabilitation after surgery is
aimed at strengthening the muscles around the shoulder to aid in the
overall strength and stability of the shoulder.&lt;br&gt;

			<title>Testimonials- Dr. Rosen</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;I would like to take a few moments to compliment Dr. Rosen  and the KSF staff for the outstanding professional service I received. From the time I arrived at KSF, for my appointment with Dr. Rosen, my experience was positive. The entire KSF team was wonderful. I cannot think of one of your teammates that did not express a positive professional attitude. I felt their true concern for my welfare as the patient. After my surgery I was assigned to Amy&amp;nbsp; and Elisa for my rehab. What a wonderful support team; professional, patient, knowledgeable, friendly and concerned. Luck was with me the day I received that assignment. Because of Amy and Elisa and the atmosphere they create I always look forward to attending my next therapy session. Amy has even called my home, checking to make sure that everything was ok. I was not assigned to the other team but my observation is that they are just as caring and professional and represent the KSF team well. My experience with and exposure to the</description>

			<title>Testimonials- Dr. Jafarnia</title>
			<description>Dear Dr. Jafarnia&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt; I meant to write this letter right after my son's accident, but as life goes on, one day turns into two and before you know it years have gone by. It has now been almost two years since you reattached the tip of my son's finger, but I wanted to thank you for the remarkable job you did to repair his finger. I have experienced numerous painful injuries in my life, but nothing compares to the pain of watching your two year old son with a potentially disfiguring injury even as minor as it was. The only visible scar that remains from the accident has slowly moved from the bottom of his finger to the tip, and if the pattern continues it will likely end up underneath his nail as he grows older. I just wanted you to know that my wife and I really appreciate all the care and attention you gave our son especially after the lack of attention a physician in another practice displayed during a very trying time for any concerned parent. If only all physicians could posse</description>

			<description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr. Kant, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks to you, here we are in Southern Chile. My knee is doing fine. I am being very careful with it, but having a great time. I may never come back. I just wanted to thank you for the great care from KSF. It's impossible to express how much you did for me. I was so worried that my skiing and hiking days were over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mr. Tim Pulliam&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>Testimonials- Dr. Kant</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;Dr. Kant, &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My shoulder injury was caused by improper use of weights in 1990. The pain flared up every so often and a Cortisone injection usually took care of it for a few years. I now own a small business designing and fabricating stained glass lamps. In 2004 the recurrence of pain made it impossible to work on my glass, it was time for a permanent solution for my pain. Dr. Kant has treated my husband and children with the usual assortment of broken bones for over 25 years. Our now grown children still see him when needed. Therefore, I have a great deal of confidence in him. In March of 2004 Dr. Kant diagnosed a torn Rotator Cuff and Bone Spur. It was so convenient to have the physician&amp;#8217;s office, MRI and Physical Therapy Center in one location. My surgery on April 28th 2005 went very well, and I started physical therapy one week later. My team of therapists, Ricky, Andy and Evelyn were wonderful. Ricky was always checking my technique and progress. Andy and Eve</description>

			<title>Testimonials- Dr. Jafarnia</title>
			<description>Dear &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Jafarnia&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;br&gt;I&amp;nbsp; wanted to personally thank you for the care you have given me during my two hand surgeries and my most recent splinter incident. You are a very busy doctor and I can vouch for the reason; you care about your patients. My father was a surgeon before the time of HMO&amp;#8217;s and other health plans. He, as did so many of his colleagues, spent time listening to his patients. Please take this as a compliment that even though you are of a very different generation, you have the spirit of the doctors of old. You have a gift for putting your patients at ease. I have healed because you have a heart for people. Bless you for the kindness you have given me. I pray for your god given talents as a surgeon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mrs. Madalyn Jones</description>

			<title>Untitled</title>
			<description>Dr. Rosen&lt;br&gt;I could never put into words or fully express my gratitude to you for taking my case, especially with it being a Mississippi Workman&amp;#8217;s Comp situation. I hope you have received full compensation for your time &amp;amp; talents spent on my arms, and I hope you&amp;#8217;ll always know how very much I appreciate your being there for me. You are someone I totally trust &amp;amp; believe in. It is an incredible blessing for me to have a competent &amp;amp; talented hand specialist/surgeon to turn to. I know it will be a while before I&amp;#8217;m completely back to &amp;#8216;normal&amp;#8217; after such surgeries, but it&amp;#8217;s wonderful already being free from the pre-surgery discomforts I have dealt with for the past 2 years now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a fantastic physician/surgeon, a wonderful person, and you have a gift for making your patients really feel important &amp;amp; cared about. I will continue referring you to everyone I know, both here in Houston &amp;amp; in Missis</description>

			<title>Testimonials- Dr. Kant</title>
			<description>&lt;span&gt;Thank you for&amp;nbsp;your wonderful work repairing my broken leg back in February. I believe you used 2 plates in my leg and whatever it is it doesn't ring the alarms at the airport security stations. During several trips in recent months I have gone through the security at Houston, Atlanta and Boston airports and nothing set off the alarm. On a recent trip with my son we traveled to London, Berlin,New Delhi, 3 stops in the Middle East and Athens, Greece. The only place that the metal in my leg seemed to set off the scanner was in a hotel in Jordan.&amp;nbsp; I inadvertently found out I can run of my repaired leg. We stood in the security line in London for an hour and a half and they were making the last call for our name on our non-stop flight to Houston. We were anxious to get home and took off running to get to the gate and down the jetway. We made it but it took about 10 minutes for my heart rate to recover.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Bill Gibson-11/04/2006&lt;/span&gt;</description>

			<title>Payment Information</title>
			<description>Payment is due in full at the time of the visit for all services, unless the patient is enrolled in a managed care plan in which KSF Orthopaedic Center participates. All co-payments and co-insurance information are collected from managed care patients at the time of their visit. Patients may pay for services provided with cash, check, Visa, Master Card, Discover or American Express.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Please review the Managed Care Plans List to see if KSF Orthopaedic Center participates in your plan.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
It is best to call your insurance carrier before making an appointment to verify that the doctor you want to see is still enrolled in your plan as a provider, as our doctors may participate in different plans. Some of our physicians are currently in the credentialing process to add more plans, but it is always best to verify your eligibility ahead of time to avoid any inconvenience.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Please check with our financial counselor at 281-440-6960, before you schedule surgery to make payment arrangements. This allows our staff to verify your insurance and make sure your provider will cover the prescribed procedure.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Surgical Patients&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;After you have scheduled surgery with one of our surgery scheduling coordinators, surgical patients may meet with one of our Financial Counselors to discuss the most convenient way to pay for their procedure. Our counselors are experienced professionals who will review your insurance coverage to show you exactly what costs your plan will cover, and what you will be responsible for. We find that completing all necessary financial arrangements prior to surgery gives our patients peace of mind and relieves them of any undue worries regarding their surgical expenses.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to call our office at 281-440-6960.
