Early Prognosis: Baker Mayfield Likely Done for the Season

Josef K. Eichinger, an M.D. in sports medicine, shoulder and elbow surgery, and Professor of Orthopaedics at the Medical University of South Carolina, said that Mayfield should strongly consider surgery. "My money," Eichinger told me, "would be on him being out for the remainder of the season. The multiple dislocations are a real concern. Cumulative dislocations can result in additional bone loss and can change the nature of surgery."

Ultrasound for diagnosis and treatment

Ultrasound is a great tool for diagnosis and treatment of elbow and shoulder conditions. It is inexpensive, involves no radiation and give give patients and surgeons immediate feedback. It is the only way to perform safe, accurate and painless injections. I recently had the opportunity to teach a hands on class and share my experience with the use of ultrasound in my clinic at the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) Chief Residents and Fellows Course.
