Internal Bracing, and how it's revolutionizing the healing process in Orthopedic surgeries.

The Internal Brace has been a huge leap forward in treatment for how patients recover from surgeries and how it allows them to get back to normal activities in a fraction of the time it used to take from conventional surgeries. This technology has been applied to some of the greatest athletes in the world, such as Drew Brees and others. A recent example is the dislocated kneecap that Brooks Koepka suffered right before the 2021 Masters tournament. The 4-time major champion and former #1 golfer in the world had put in place an Internal Brace, and a week later was hitting and walking on the golf course able to compete at the Masters just 3 weeks after surgery. This technology is not only available to the best athletes in the world, but it’s also available to you.

He shares what information and options you should discuss with your doctor regarding this procedure, and the importance of having a doctor who knows how to apply an Internal Brace. Is Internal Bracing permanent? Is it safe for MRIs? Who’s more likely to get an Internal Brace? What are the cost differences if any? We get to these questions and much more. It’s a great topic and a game-changer for your recovery. Reach out to your doctor and others, to see if this procedure can benefit you. Music: Bensound
