On this episode of the Nailed It Ortho Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Hussein Saad, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, for a conversation that goes beyond the operating room—covering technical pearls for rotator cuff repair, building a successful orthopedic practice, and leveraging social media as a physician.

Dr. Saad earned his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine before completing his orthopedic surgery residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. He then completed an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic, where his training included caring for professional athletes from the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Cleveland Indians (now Guardians).

With a particular interest in shoulder surgery, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Saad joins us to break down some of the technical details that can make a difference when performing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

We discuss surgical decision-making, technical pearls, and strategies he has developed throughout his career. We also step outside the OR to talk about another side of being a modern orthopedic surgeon: growing a practice and developing an effective social media presence.

Dr. Saad shares his experience building his orthopedic practice, connecting with patients, and using social media to educate while expanding his reach and personal brand.

In this episode, we discuss:

Technical pearls for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
Rotator cuff repair strategy and surgical decision-making
Tips for improving efficiency and reproducibility in the OR
Lessons learned from challenging rotator cuff cases
Building and growing a successful orthopedic practice
How physicians can use social media to educate patients and grow their reach
Developing an authentic physician brand
Practical advice for residents, fellows, and young orthopedic surgeons building their careers

Whether you're an orthopedic resident, fellow, practicing surgeon, or simply looking to improve your rotator cuff technique and understand the business and branding side of medicine, this episode has something for you.
