Something To Do For The Last Hour Of Work

About two hours from now, John Zvijac, M.D., orthopedic surgeon for the Buccaneers, will moderate (moderate?) a live rotator cuff repair surgery that you can watch free on the web. And you thought you wouldn't have anything to do before camp.

"There have been significant advances in rotator cuff surgery. It used to be a very large open surgery where the shoulder muscles were dissected out to get to the rotator cuff. Today, it's a minimally invasive operation that's done through the arthroscope. Several little poke holes are used to access the rotator cuff, and then it's sewn through those poke holes back down to the bone. The painful post-operative period is much less intense. It's an outpatient procedure, and really the first couple of days, they might need some medication. But after that, there's really not much pain."
