XLIF Procedure

2023-06-02T13:40:19-07:00

We’re going talk a little bit about the lateral interbody fusion. Another name for this procedure is the XLIF procedure. This is a procedure in which we access the spine via a lateral flank incision. This provides direct access to the spine with minimal tissue dissection. 

This video will illustrate a little bit more about this technique.

The back is made up of a number of small bones called vertebrae. Cushioning discs present between the vertebrae act as [Learn More]

Fractures of the Hip in the Elderly 

2023-06-02T13:04:54-07:00

A hip fracture is a partial or complete break of the upper femur (thigh bone) in or near the hip.  Hip fractures are most common in people older than 60 whose bones have been weakened by osteoporosis.  Most of those fractures result from falls. 

A fractured hip is usually very painful, and the potential for complications in older patients means that immediate surgery is generally the recommended treatment.  The sooner a patient can be treated and gotten out of bed, the better the outcome is likely to be.   

Complications of hip fracture in the elderly may include:

2023-03-30T07:42:24-07:00

A LIFETIME OF CARE

It is with deep sadness that we heard of the passing of Dr. Ramiro Miranda on December 18, 2022. Dr Miranda was one of the founding members of muir orthopedic specialists and served as president from March 2001 to December 2018 before retiring in 2021. Both his fellow physicians and the staff of our organization are heartbroken by this news. Dr Miranda was very fondly thought of and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

We researched quite a lot, to find the most reliable ortho-spine surgeon to handle the situation & found Dr. Hasan to be that one. In the initial consultation, Dr. Hasan found & demonstrated [Learn More]

The Dreaded “High” Ankle Sprain

2022-04-28T09:27:39-07:00

We hear about it all the time in our favorite sports. Rather than just a sprain and he/she will be back soon, the term high ankle sprain gets mentioned and you know the athlete is out for an extended period of time.

Recently, Adrian Peterson, arguably the best pure running back in professional American football was the victim of such an injury. And, uh-oh, it’s going to be awhile to get back in the game.

So what’s a high ankle sprain? What’s the mechanism and why does it take so much longer to recover from? Check out my “Ask the Doctor” [Learn More]
