Sleep disruption is a hallmark symptom of rotator cuff pathology. Poor sleep can result in profound detriment to one's health and wellbeing. One of the greatest rewards of rotator cuff surgery is the ability to correct this. However, recovery from rotator cuff repair surgery can be long, upwards of 6+ months, with each individual's recovery pathway unique to him/herself. So when should a patient expect, on average, to see improvement in sleep after shoulder surgery? Drs. Mohammad Daher, MD and Joseph Abboud, MD from the famed Rothman Institute in Philadelphia, PA join us to share their findings on this topic.

Does cannabis use have any effect, good or bad, on Orthopaedic Surgery? It's a question we, as a Sports Medicine community, hear increasingly frequently from our patients but so far don't have great data to provide sound advice. We welcome Dr. Grant Hogue who has studied this extensively across several disciplines of Orthopaedic Surgery. He presents his work with his colleagues at Boston Children's Hospital looking specifically at adverse effects of marijuana use on ACL reconstruction recovery.
