Orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Jonathan Hersch is the first in Florida to provide the Rotation Medical Rotator Cuff System, a new bioinductive implant that induces formation of tendon-like tissue to treat patients suffering from rotator cuff disease. The minimally invasive system is designed for use during arthroscopic procedures, providing a new option for millions of people suffering from rotator cuff tendon tears in the shoulder joint. Dr. Hersch has an office in Boca Raton with Tenet Florida Physician Services (TFPS), and is on staff at West Boca Medical Center.“There has been a strong clinical need for a new solution to treat rotator cuff disease. Up until now, rotator cuff repair procedures did not improve the underlying tendon tissue structure and a large number of repaired tendons deteriorated over time and became prone to re-tears,” said Dr. Hersch. “With the Rotation Medical technology we are able to induce new tissue growth, and potentially prevent the progression of rotator cuff disease. This supports my goal to help improve patient quality of life. The ability to intervene earlier may help many patients avoid a lengthy rehabilitation and return to their routines sooner.”
