I’m too young for hip/knee problems”.
We hear this weekly from patients in their 30s and 40s.
The truth? Orthopaedic conditions don’t discriminate by age.
Sports injuries strike athletes at peak performance; repetitive strain affects workers in their prime, early-onset arthritis can begin before 40 and overuse injuries impact active individuals
Over 75,000 hip and knee procedures were performed in Ireland between 2010-2019 and the majority of patients waiting for treatment are between 50-70.
But intervention often begins much earlier.
The key? Don’t ignore persistent joint pain, stiffness, or
instability, regardless of your age.
Modern diagnostics can identify issues early, when treatment options are most effective and least invasive.
Prevention starts with assessment. Call us to book your consultation.
