Orthopaedic surgery has made leaps and bounds in the 20th and 21st centuries, but the surgical solutions for one of the most common shoulder injuries continues to fall short for patients who rely on them. That injury is called a Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear. This episode of New Wave explores the innovations of a Nova Scotia company, Reach Orthopaedics, that is on a mission to revolutionize the treatment of MIRCTs with their proprietary implant. Its aim is to end that choice that patients must make between a surgical option that lasts versus a surgical option that restores function, finally giving them, the best of both worlds.
