Pain Pump Attorneys
Intraarticluar Pain Pumps are often used after shoulder surgery to help
aid in pain management. These pumps are implanted in the shoulder joint
and are used to dispense pain medication. These pumps were believed to
be a better way to manage pain after surgery, but recently it has been
found that this may be incorrect and the Intraarticular Pain Pumps could
be doing more damage than good.
In 2006, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons studied the medical
charts of 152 patients who had arthroscopic surgeries. Of these 152 patients,
12 were found to have a condition known as Postarthroscopic glenohumeral
chondrolysis or PAGCL. A study was also published by the American Journal
of Sports Medicine in July stating that these pain pumps were a likely
cause of PAGCL. This condition causes increased pain and stiffness in
the shoulder, constant need for pain management, reduced strength, a limited
range of motion and a probable need for continual pain management. Patients
who suffer from PAGCL also need to undergo more surgery, and there is
a chance that the injured shoulder will never fully recover.
