24.01.2022 An ACL graft rupture is a devastating problem that can occur for a variety of reasons. This young soccer player had a hamstrings graft ACL done overseas and had ACL tunnel malposition. He had a traumatic graft rupture and a lateral meniscal root tear. In some cases of tunnel malposition, a staged procedure is performed. The first stage involves bone grafting the old tunnels and giving it time to incorporate. For the 2nd stage, we can start fresh and improve on the previous tu...nnel position. For this patient I chose a patellar tendon graft as it is a solid graft with a low rerupture rate. A lateral tenodesis was also added to provide more rotational control. Finally, the lateral meniscal root was repair to protect the cartilage and increase the overall stability. Now that the easy part is done, I’ll hand his care over to the expert physiotherapists who will do the hard part (rehab) and get him back to sports. #acl #aclsurgery #meniscus #active #ortho #orthopedics #sport #sportssurgery #sportsinjury

17.01.2022 Robotic knee replacement surgery helps your surgeon plan your knee replacement and execute that plan accurately. This can improve the longevity of a partial knee replacement, decrease post-operative pain and improve your short term recovery.

16.01.2022 For patients with disabling arthritis, I prefer performing a partial knee replacement if appropriate as it has a quicker recovery and feels more like a normal knee. Approximately 50% of patients with significant arthritis are candidates for a partial knee. Read more at https://bit.ly/2OwgNKG

13.01.2022 Do PRP injections for knee osteoarthritis work? In early arthritis, they have been shown to have benefit. However, other first line measures such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory medication should be tried first. In advanced arthritis, knee replacement surgery is more appropriate. Read more about PRP injections at https://bit.ly/3fIvk19 #PRP #PRPinjections #osteoarthritis #arthritis #kneepain
