25.01.2022 The Zebris pressure sensitive treadmill is back up and running after its long journey from Melbourne. Analysis of pressure, video, Range of motion and lower limb kinetics all in one.

25.01.2022 I am delighted to add Caboolture Private Hospital to my sites of operating. I will operate there once a month to allow patients South of the Sunshine Coast shorter travel times. I will continue to use SCUPH as my main operating site. Caboolture Private is a smaller hospital but has the latest technology and facilities to provide the safest and most advanced care with a personal touch that only a smaller facility can allow.

25.01.2022 We are still open during these difficult times. Please ring for a telehealth interview or a face to face consultation. We are spacing appointments and practicing distancing rules. In the meantime stay safe and healthy. Do regular exercise especially stretching until normal life resumes.

23.01.2022 Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain. Typically it is worst first thing in the morning then warms up and gets worse at the end of the day. Treatment usually consists of stretching, massage, icing and soft heel inserts. Cortisone inject ion may be needed but surgery is only needed in around 5% of cases. Surgery is keyhole and has around 80% success. The bony spur plays no part in the pain or treatment of plantar fasciitis and even with surgery it is not excised. Plantar fasciitis is a nuisance condition that fortunately responds to conservative treatment but can take weeks or even months to resolve.

22.01.2022 During these difficult times we are still open for business. We are spacing appointments to decrease contact and cleaning between patients. Elective surgery is still going with little or no further risk. I am also open to tele-video appointments where possible. If that is the case please contact us by e mail on [email protected] to arrange it. Gerard Bourke

17.01.2022 Sunshine Coast Orthopaedics will remain open during the Christmas and New Year periods. We will be closed on the public holidays but otherwise I will be available for new and old problems and especially urgent issues. I am also happy to see problems in patients that have been operated on by my colleagues. I will get you through until your regular surgeon returns and can take over your care.

14.01.2022 Finally the Queensland Radiation Department has granted my licenses for the Pedcat. The I.T. Guys have worked their magic so we are a go for weight bearing CT. Only with 3D technology can the most accurate diagnosis be made. We are the only weight bearing CT scanner in Queensland and can ensure the most up to date technology is available for the best treatment options.

12.01.2022 Here are my thoughts on ankle sprains. Sprained ankles are the commonest sporting injury in the world. They are also a common injury in the workplace and account for a significant amount of time off sport and work. The vast majority of sprains are a result of an inversion injury where the heel rolls onwards injuring the outside (lateral) ligaments. Injuries to the inside ( medial) side or combined injuries are less common and often require more major treatment. I will discuss...Continue reading
