Asheesh Bedi, MD - ArticlesDr. Bedi has also been recognized with the Leonard Marmor Outstanding Orthopaedic Resident Award, and the Hospital for Special Surgery Philip D. Wilson Award for Excellence in both 2008 and 2009 for his efforts in orthopaedic research and tendon-bone healing studies with Dr. Scott Rodeo. He is a Finalist for the 2010 Neer Award of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES). He has authored over fifty articles, chapters, and peer-reviewed publications on shoulder, elbow, knee, and hip injuries in athletes.
Torn Rotator CuffIn an adult population, rotator cuff tears are the most common cause of debilitating shoulder pain and disability, with approximately 300,000 rotator cuff surgeries performed annually in the United States. The diagnosis and management of rotator cuff disease places a significant financial burden on the U.S. economy, amounting to an annual cost of 3 billion dollars. Achilles Tendon InjuryThe Achilles tendon connects the muscles of the calf and to the heelbone. The tendon is large and must be able to withstand and transmit the large forces generated by these powerful muscles to move the foot. In an adult population, ruptures of the Achilles tendon can be a common injury of the foot and ankle. While they can be seen in almost all level of competitive athletes, they have been historically linked with the “weekend warrior.” Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries of the KneeThe medial collateral ligament (MCL), together with the cruciates and lateral collateral ligament, is critical to the stability of the knee joint. Medial collateral ligament injuries to the knee are not uncommon. Many well-recognized professional athletes, including Hines Ward, Knowshan Moreno, and Troy Polamalu, have suffered from medial collateral ligament tears after injury on the football field. These can occur alone or in combination with other ligament or cartilage injuries of the knee. Colts Safety Bob Sanders “The Hulk” is Sidelined with Elbow InjuryAs if the Colts secondary has not been tormented by enough injuries this season, we recently learned that strong safety Bob Sanders (“The Hulk”) will be out with a distal biceps tendon rupture at the elbow which will require season-ending surgery. The distal biceps tendon can tear, preventing the transmission of forces from the muscle to the forearm bones. Meniscus TearsA Meniscus tear is among the most common orthopaedic injury and has been colloquially referred to as “torn cartilage” in the knee. They have affected athletes of virtually every sport. While they are most commonly seen in the posterior horn, they can occur in any location and affect either the medial side, lateral side, or both. What is Runner’s Knee?Runner’s knee is a term used to describe a constellation of symptoms of knee pain that is frequently encountered in running athletes. Runner’s knee involves the kneecap, quadriceps tendon, patellar tendon, and the associated soft tissues that are critical to extension of the knee. Any activity that places significant stresses on the front of the knee joint (“patellofemoral”) can result “runner’s knee”. Patellar Tendonitis – Jumpers KneePatellar tendonitis is defined by inflammation in the patellar tendon, and most commonly occurs at its origin just below the kneecap. The most common cause is overuse or repetitive injury, and it has been reported to occur in athletes of virtually every sport. The patellar tendon is a thick, organized band of tissue that attaches the kneecap (“patella”) to the shinbone (tibia). Shin Splints CareHow to understand and care for shin splints
