Best Practice Case Studies-Neurogenic TOS and Other Plexus Syndromes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Eric Wagner, an expert in orthopedic surgery from Emory University, delivered a lecture focused on neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome and other related conditions like brachial plexopathy. He covered common causes for radiating shoulder pain such as thoracic outlet syndrome, suprascapular neuropathy, and quadrilateral space syndrome, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between these and cervical radiculopathy or other musculoskeletal issues. He explained diagnosis techniques such as MRIs, EMGs, and ultrasound-guided injections to offer precise diagnosis and effective treatments, including non-surgical options like physical therapy. He highlighted the role of the scapula and the significance of addressing scapular dyskinesia in these conditions.<br /><br />Dr. Wagner discussed his protocol for identifying and treating thoracic outlet syndrome using a series of specialized injections and reviewed several case studies illustrating these practices in actual clinical scenarios. He underscored advancements in both the understanding and management of such conditions, contributing substantially to the field. The session concluded with a Q&A, where the audience's queries regarding the injection protocols were addressed, reinforcing the lecture's practical applications and diagnostic strategies.
