22.01.2022 Hot off the Press: Elective Surgery apparently cleared to resume in Victoria. Some capacity restrictions to continue but at least some work able to resume. Demand will likely outstrip capacity quite quickly. Our office can be contacted on Tel (03) 9532 3333. #hipreplacement #kneereplacement

07.01.2022 Orthopaedic Telehealth Bulk-Billed (no charge) Appointments now available: To assist patients during the Covid-19 quarantine, we are pleased to offer patients the convenient and safe option of a Bulk-Billed Telehealth (Videoconference) consultation. While there is currently a temporary pause on elective surgery, access to a bulk-billed (no out of pocket charge) consultation gives patients access to an orthopaedic surgeon for assessment, diagnosis, advice on non-operative pain... management strategies and commencement of preoperative health optimisation and medical workup for those who need surgery once elective surgery recommences. Mr Freedman's practice focus is Hip and Knee Arthritis. Common surgeries include Anterior Approach Hip Replacement and Patient-Specific Instrumentation (PSI) Partial and Total Knee Replacement. To access a bulk-billed appointment you will need to have a valid medicare card and GP referral. Many GP clinics are themselves offering Telehealth/phone consultations to provide referrals where appropriate. Our Telehealth platform is simple easy to use and our staff will be able to direct you through using it. To schedule a Telehealth consult please contact our office on 9532 3333 and request "Telehealth" when scheduling your appointment.

06.01.2022 Interesting article in press at the prestigious Journal of Arthroplasty. 35% of patients with severe arthritis report poor sleep (I feel that it's actually higher than this). Of those, 74% were improved after joint replacement. I routinely ask clinic patients about their sleep patterns and in my practice, pain that it troublesome enough to disrupt sleep is one of my indicators for surgery. I agree with the authors of this study that sleep is usually siginifcanty improved by successful joint replacement surgery. #hipreplacement #kneereplacement #sleep #ilanfreedman #orthopaedic
