Dominic S. Carreira, MD

Dr. Carreira was recently named President of MASH (Multicenter Arthroscopy Study of the Hip). He is grateful for the opportunity to lead the group in furthering the understanding of treatments of the adolescent and young adult hip. The coordination of multiple centers in collecting data for research purposes will serve to answer a number of questions related to hip arthroscopy which no single surgeon experience can address.

The MASH (Multicenter Arthroscopy Study of the Hip) study group (www.mashstudy.com) will be meeting in Rio de Janeiro this week. Dr. Carreira is also presenting the outcomes of allograft labrum reconstructions at the meeting, along with the surgical technique. This scientific meeting is dedicated only to the advancement of hip arthroscopy, with a focus on the surgical treatment of hip injuries, primarily in the adolescent and young adult hip.

An update on injuries was part of the presentation “Common Foot and Ankle Injuries in Sports” at the annual meeting on Saturday July 26, 2014. The audio content is available on ATPodcast by Lenker & Vanguri, which is available for download on itunes.

Dr. Carreira will present “Acetabular Labrum Reconstruction of the Hip: Technique and Results” at the annual meeting of ISHA (International Society of Hip Arthroscopy) which is taking place from October 8- 11 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In March 2014, Dominic S. Carreira, MD, delivered a presentation to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons entitled All Arthroscropic Allograft Labral Reconstruction of the Hip.

Leading arthroscropic surgeon, Dr. Dominic Carreira published “Extended Indications in Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy” in the December 2013 review in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. This journal is the most widely read journal that reviews topics for orthopedic surgeons.

The launch of a new website for the MASH Study Group coincides with a campaign to develop partnerships with companies, institutions and individuals to progress a multicenter arthroscopic study of the hip.

Starting October 14, 2013, we are in a new office building, a state-of-the-art orthopedic and sports medicine facility:

Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center
1601 S. Andrews Avenue 2nd Floor.
Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33316

We moved from one side of the perimeter of Broward Health Medical Center to the other side. It is less than a mile (0.2 miles) from our previous location.

Committed to patient education, Dr. Dominic Carreira recently posted important information about AIIS Impingement on his website.

Dr. Dominic Carreira has been invited to present his work at the Foot and Ankle Conference being held at the Marly Clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. Aimed at foot and ankle surgeons in Columbia, Curso de Pie y Tobillo will draw surgeons from across the region, including Venezuela and Ecuador. Dr. Carreira will speak primarily about sports-medicine with an emphasis on arthroscopic techniques.
