On this episode of the Nailed It Ortho Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Hussein Saad, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, for a conversation that goes beyond the operating room, covering technical pearls for rotator cuff repair, building a successful orthopedic practice, and leveraging social media as a physician.
Dr. Saad earned his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine before completing his orthopedic surgery residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. He then completed an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic, where his training included caring for professional athletes from the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Cleveland Indians (now Guardians).
With a particular interest in shoulder surgery, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Saad joins us to break down some of the technical details that can make a difference when performing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
We discuss surgical decision-making, technical pearls, and strategies he has developed throughout his career. We also step outside the OR to talk about another side of being a modern orthopedic surgeon: growing a practice and developing an effective social media presence.
Dr. Saad shares his experience building his orthopedic practice, connecting with patients, and using social media to educate while expanding his reach and personal brand.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Technical pearls for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
