Shoulder Pain Pumps / PAGCL
A recent study confirms a link between intra-articular pain pumps for the shoulder and postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL), a serious condition causing extreme deterioration of joint cartilage. PAGCL is so damaging it may cause permanent joint disability or require surgical joint replacement.
Manufacturers claim that the intra-articular pain pumps for the shoulder speed recovery, reducing medication and pain while requiring little maintenance. Unfortunately, these corporations have neglected to adequately warn doctors and patients of the potential side effects of these devices. Results from a 2007 study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine show that 63% of patients using a shoulder pain pump developed PAGCL. By comparison, 0% of patients without a shoulder pain pump developed PAGCL.
The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker is currently investigating pain pumps and their manufacturers, such as the OnQ Painbuster by I-Flow Inc. and Pain Care 3000 by BREG, Inc.
