Three Surgeons Join Aria 3B Orthopaedic Institute
Top to bottom: Daniel E. Bronsnick, M.D., Douglas C. Sutton, M.D. and Todd M. McGrath, M.D.

Todd M. McGrath, M.D., Douglas C. Sutton, M.D., and Daniel E. Bronsnick, M.D., have all joined the Aria 3B Orthopaedic Institute, a large provider in Philadelphia and the surrounding communities.

As indicate in the September 28, 2015 news release, “After recently completing a fellowship in sports medicine at the Moses Cone Health System in Greensboro, North Carolina, Todd M. McGrath, M.D., has joined the Aria 3B Orthopaedic Institute as a non-operative sports medicine physician. Dr. McGrath has more than 14 years of experience in the field, and brings with him expansive knowledge in diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal ultrasounds and invasive ultrasound techniques.”

“Douglas C. Sutton, M.D., is fellowship trained in adult spine surgery, and treats congenital, developmental and post-traumatic conditions of the spine. His extensive surgical practice includes decompression procedures of the spine, micro/minimally invasive procedures, anterior and posterior fusion techniques, motion preservation technology and spinal instrumentation.”

Shoulder surgeon Daniel E. Bronsnick, M.D. completed his fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery at Brown University. Prior to joining the Aria 3B Orthopaedic Institute, Dr. Bronsnick was a staff surgeon at the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, Miriam Hospital and Rhode Island Hospital.”

Dr. McGrath told OTW, “As a new physician with the Aria 3B Orthopaedic Institute, I am looking forward to adding to and building on the sports medicine presence and our practice within the communities we serve. The legacy and reputation of orthopaedic sports care is well established with the 3Bs. I hope to add to the non-operative care of our elite athletes, weekend warriors, adolescent athletes and patients simply trying to maintain or regain an active, healthy lifestyle. Newer modalities and therapies are allowing us to expand our use of diagnostic ultrasound, minimally invasive interventional ultrasound procedures and nonsurgical treatment of chronic tendinopathies within the office setting. I look to expand on our ability to treat acute injuries both on the field and in the office, drawing on my experiences in emergency medicine as well as sports medicine, from acute fracture management to concussions to medical emergencies as they may arise. In addition, I look to build on my experience with endurance athletes of all levels, whether that be runners, cyclists or multisport athletes through treatment of chronic overuse injuries, biomechanical analysis for injury treatment and prevention as well as therapies to maximize performance.”

Dr. Sutton commented to OTW, “I have had the privilege of providing spine care to our community for over 20 years, and it is my goal to help develop a full service spine program integrated with an orthopaedic specialty hospital so that we may continue to reach more patients in need of specialized spine and orthopaedic care.”

Dr. Bronsnick noted, “My focus over the next 3-6 months is to treat the entire spectrum of shoulder and elbow injuries and problems. I use the most up to date technologies and surgical techniques to provide a high level of care. I emphasize patient centered care with a goal to improve quality of life and increase the functional status of each patient that walks through my door.”

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?

Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.

We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
