A bunion isn’t just a bump on the side of the foot.

It’s a structural change at the base of the big toe, where the joint gradually shifts out of alignment. Over time, this can lead to pain, stiffness, difficulty with footwear, and changes in how you walk.

For many people, bunions progress slowly - but they don’t usually correct themselves.

Early assessment can help clarify:
• what’s causing your symptoms
• how advanced the deformity is
• whether non-surgical management is appropriate
• or when surgery may be worth discussing

If a bunion is starting to affect your comfort or daily activities, the first step is a review with your GP, who can assess your foot and organise imaging or referral if needed.

Recovery after rotator cuff surgery isn’t a straight line - and it’s not something you “push through”.

This carousel walks through what the first 12 weeks really look like.

The goal of surgery isn’t speed.

It’s long-term pain relief, function, and durability - and that takes time, guidance, and commitment.

If you’re considering rotator cuff surgery, the right first step is a conversation with your GP.

They can assess your shoulder and, if appropriate, arrange a referral to see Dr Ryan du Sart to discuss whether surgery - or non-surgical care - is the best option for you.

Saving this post can be helpful if surgery is something you’re thinking about, or preparing for.

Thinking about rotator cuff surgery can feel overwhelming - especially when you’re not sure what’s actually involved, or whether surgery is even necessary.

These are the five questions patients ask Dr Ryan du Sart most often when they’re dealing with ongoing shoulder pain:
• Do I really need surgery?
• What actually happens during the procedure?
• How long does recovery take?
• Will I get full use of my shoulder back?
• What happens if I don’t do anything?

The short answer is: there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
Some rotator cuff tears can be managed without surgery. Others may worsen over time if left untreated. The right plan depends on your tear, your pain, your function, and your goals.

That’s why the focus is always on clear information, honest conversations, and a tailored approach - not rushing decisions or taking a “wait and see forever” path.

If you have ongoing shoulder pain or loss of function, start with your GP.
They can assess your shoulder and, if appropriate, arrange a referral to discuss both surgical and non-surgical options.

Saving this post can help when questions come up later.

If you’re considering a specialist opinion, it helps to know who you’ll be seeing and how they work.

Not sure if your joint or shoulder pain is “bad enough” to see a surgeon?

This pinned post explains what an orthopaedic surgeon actually does, the types of problems Dr du Sart commonly sees, and when it may be worth talking to your GP about a referral.

Your GP remains the best first step – they can assess you, organise initial imaging, and decide whether specialist input from Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Ryan du Sart is appropriate.

Shoulder pain that was “meant to settle” but hasn’t?

Not every sore shoulder is a rotator cuff tear – but some are, and they’re easy to overlook as a simple strain. This post walks through when it’s usually just a ni**le, the signs it could be your rotator cuff, and why getting the right diagnosis actually matters.

If shoulder pain is stopping you from sleeping, working or doing the things you enjoy, it’s worth a proper assessment. Start with your GP – they can examine your shoulder, arrange scans if needed, and refer to Dr Ryan du Sart in South West WA if specialist care is appropriate.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement supports orthopaedic surgeons in planning and performing knee replacement surgery with a high level of accuracy.

The technology creates a 3D model of your knee to assist with alignment and balance during surgery — but the surgeon always stays in control.
Suitability depends on your individual assessment and condition.

Speak with your GP for a referral to Dr Ryan du Sart, Orthopaedic Surgeon, South Bunbury.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement allows orthopaedic surgeons to plan surgery with a high level of accuracy using computer-guided 3D modelling.

The robot doesn’t perform the operation—it helps guide the surgeon’s movements based on your individual anatomy.

This approach may support consistent alignment and joint balance.

Speak with your GP about a referral to Dr Ryan du Sart, Orthopaedic Surgeon, South Bunbury.

Is knee arthritis affecting your movement or daily activities?

For some people, robotic-assisted knee replacement may be one of the options to consider when arthritis causes ongoing pain and reduced mobility.

This technique uses 3D imaging and computer guidance to help your surgeon plan the alignment and positioning of your knee implant. Your surgeon remains in full control throughout the procedure.

Dr Ryan du Sart provides comprehensive orthopaedic assessment and treatment planning, including both surgical and non-surgical approaches tailored to your individual needs.

If you’re experiencing persistent knee pain, speak with your GP about a referral to Dr du Sart to discuss your options.

World Arthritis Day 2025 — It’s In Your Hands

As an orthopaedic surgeon, I see the toll that arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions take on people every day — not just physically, but emotionally and socially too. It’s easy to think of arthritis as something that only affects older adults, but in reality, rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) impact people of all ages, from all walks of life.

October 12 marks World Arthritis Day, a global reminder that these conditions deserve greater awareness, earlier diagnosis, and coordinated care. This year’s theme, “It’s in your hands – take action,” is a powerful call to action.

We all have a role to play:

Patients: Know the signs, speak up early, and prioritise your joint health.

Clinicians: Keep pushing for earlier intervention and better support.

Communities: Let’s challenge outdated beliefs and build empathy for those living with chronic pain.

With the right care and early intervention, people living with arthritis and other RMDs can maintain their independence, manage pain, and continue doing the things that matter most to them.

It’s in our hands — as healthcare providers, family members, and individuals — to make that difference.
