Safety Before Surgery

A fellow orthopedic surgeon called me from Manila yesterday.

"Should my mother have her knee replacement? Her sugar is elevated and diabetes isn't controlled."

The answer was immediate: No.

After 12 years treating hip & knee patients, I've discovered that each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see. I believe every pain has a solution and results speak for themselves.

**Part 1: The Foundation of Safety**

Surgery isn't just about fixing joints.

It's about ensuring your body can heal what we repair.

Uncontrolled diabetes means uncontrolled infection risk.

Soft tissues don't heal properly when sugar levels are high.

Even a surgeon's mother must meet these standards.

**Part 2: The Team Approach**

This is why we work with endocrinology colleagues.

Why we require cardiac clearance to check heart and lungs.

Why medical optimization comes before surgical intervention.

My Joint Restoration Blueprint includes this preparation phase—because the surgery you survive matters more than the surgery you schedule.

**Part 3: When Love Means Waiting**

Even for his own mother, this surgeon understood.

Safety first. Always.

The joint will wait. Complications won't forgive.

My promise is to listen, to touch, to feel, and understand what you're going through so I can give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint.

# **Family Changes Everything**

Yesterday, a 70-year-old grandmother walked hours after her knee replacement.

Zero pain.

The epidural catheter we prepared? She never needed it.

Her pain scale stayed at 0-2 while she did therapy the next day, surrounded by her children and grandchildren—all cheering, laughing, telling jokes.

After 12 years treating hip & knee patients, I've discovered that each patient is unique. That's why there is a Joint Restoration Blueprint I have for each patient I see. I believe every pain has a solution and results speak for themselves.

**Part 1: Support Accelerates Healing**

Medical research confirms what I see daily: patients with strong family support recover faster, need less pain medication, and regain mobility quicker than those recovering alone.

This grandmother had her entire family present—children, grandchildren, all invested in her recovery.

That emotional foundation matters more than most realize.

**Part 2: The Matriarch Advantage**

Being the family center comes with unexpected surgical benefits.

When you've spent decades caring for others, they show up when it's your turn.

Her family didn't just visit—they participated in her healing, transforming a medical procedure into a family victory.

**Part 3: Recovery Doesn't Need Suffering**

Modern knee replacement, combined with family support, creates outcomes that surprise even patients expecting months of difficulty.

Walking the same day. Minimal pain. Discharge within 48 hours.

This is what proper surgical technique plus emotional support achieves.

My promise is to listen, to touch, to feel, and understand what you're going through so I can give you the best care through my Joint Restoration Blueprint.

Maayong adlaw! 😊

Salamat sa imong pangutana — importante kaayo nga mag-amping kung buntis ka ug adunay arthritis o pananakit sa mga lutahan.

**Una sa tanan:**

Ayaw una og inom ug bisan unsang tambal nga wala pa nimo masultihi ang imong OB-Gyne o doktor sa imong pagbuntis. Daghang tambal para sa arthritis nga *dili luwas para sa buntis*, labi na ang uban nga makadaot sa bata o makasamot sa dughan.

**Kasagaran nga gi-tambagan sa buntis nga adunay arthritis:**

1. **Luwas nga opsyon (kasagaran):**

* **Paracetamol (acetaminophen)** – mao ra kasagaran nga gitugotan para sa kasakit sa panahon sa pagbuntis.

* **Warm compress o warm bath** – makatabang mupa-relax sa mga lutahan ug kaunuran.

* **Mild stretching o prenatal yoga** – kung tugotan sa imong doktor.

* **Balanced diet ug hydration** – likayi ang taas kaayo ug asin o pagkaon nga makapa-inflame.

2. **Mga tambal nga dili kasagaran gitugotan sa buntis:**

* **Ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac (NSAIDs)** – *dili luwas*, labi na kung naa na ka sa ikatulong trimester.

* **Steroids o uban pang anti-rheumatic drugs (methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, etc.)** – kinahanglan og espesyal nga pagtutok sa doktor.

**Ang pinakamaayong buhaton:**

👉 Adto sa imong OB-Gyne o rheumatologist aron sila mismo ang mohatag sa luwas nga tambal base sa imong kondisyon ug trimester.
