Injuries can sometimes be unpreventable, even when you live an active lifestyle.

🦶🏻 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆 is common, especially for active people. The Achilles tendon can be prone to overuse or sudden strain despite being the strongest tendon in your body.

The acute phase is 3-7 days after your injury. It's characterised by inflammation, pain and weakness, but you might also experience bruising, swelling and difficulty walking or pushing off with your toes.

🧊 During this phase, you can undergo RICE therapy or rest, ice, compression and elevation. This helps reduce inflammation and pain.

Seek help from 𝗛𝗖 𝗢𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰 to diagnose the severity of your injury and recommend the appropriate course of treatment. Depending on the tear, this could involve immobilisation, physical therapy, or surgery.

📲 Contact us today for more information on Achilles tendon injuries.

Have you ever felt that sudden, sharp, excruciating pain followed by a strange immobility in your arm?

𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!

👉🏻 A dislocation occurs when a bone pops out of its socket in a joint. It can occur due to a fall, forceful impact, or sudden twist.

While some dislocations may seem minor, they're all considered medical emergencies.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
◾️ Severe pain and tenderness in the affected area
◾️ Deformity or when the joint might look visibly out of place
◾️ Difficulty moving or using the affected limb
◾️ Numbness or tingling around the joint

➡️ 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗖 𝗢𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 ⬅️

☑️ Don't wait for the pain to subside on its own! Treatment is key to preventing long-term complications from dislocations.

🤔 Do you engage in repetitive shoulder movements and experience pain?

Rotator cuff tear might be the culprit behind that. It is a prevalent injury often attributed to overuse.

👉🏻 This condition affects the group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, crucial for stability and mobility.

Frequent lifting, reaching overhead or repetitive arm movements, can gradually wear down the rotator cuff tendons 🏋🏻‍♀️

This repetitive stress weakens the tendons over time, making them more susceptible to tearing.

✅ Treatment for a rotator cuff tear typically begins with conservative measures. However, in cases where conservative treatments do not alleviate symptoms, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair the torn tendons.

Seeking timely medical attention and adhering to recommended treatments can significantly improve outcomes for individuals with rotator cuff tears 👍

🤔 Are you or someone you know considering full knee replacement surgery?

🦵 A full knee replacement can be a transformative procedure for those experiencing chronic knee pain that interferes with daily activities.

If conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections haven't provided relief, HC Orthopaedic Clinic's full knee replacement surgery could be a suitable solution, especially if you're over 45.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂:

1️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻: Replacing worn-out joint surfaces with a prosthetic knee significantly reduces pain, allowing you to move more freely.

2️⃣ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Increased flexibility and range of motion facilitate easier tasks such as getting up and down, climbing stairs and walking.

3️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲: Regain the ability to participate in activities you love, like hiking, biking, or playing with grandkids.

Schedule a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon to discuss your needs and explore if a full knee replacement is the right option for you 👍🏻

Here's what you should do before your appointment with a scope specialist to enhance the effectiveness of your consultation.

1️⃣ 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀: Gather all relevant medical records, including previous test results, imaging scans and notes.

2️⃣ 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀: List your symptoms, when they started and any triggers or patterns you've noticed.

3️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Note down all medications you're currently taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Be sure to include dosage information.

4️⃣ 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: If the specialist has provided specific pre-procedure instructions, such as fasting or medication adjustments, follow them carefully to ensure the procedure's success.

5️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Take some time to prepare questions about the procedure, potential risks and expected outcomes to help you feel more informed during your discussion.

By taking these steps, you'll be well-prepared for your appointment with the scope specialist, ensuring a smoother and more productive consultation.

👉🏻 Your knee is intricate, with the 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗣𝗖𝗟) playing a crucial role in its stability.

🦵 This strong ligament acts like a seatbelt, preventing excessive backward movement of your shin bone (𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗮).

PCL injuries can occur due to various activities, such as landing awkwardly from a jump, a direct blow to the bent knee, or even a forceful hyperextension.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿

❌ Pain and swelling
❌ Stiffness

There are 3️⃣ main types of diabetes you need to know about.

🔘 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟭 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀:

This type is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. It is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

🔘 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝟮 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀:

This is the most common type of diabetes and generally develops in adults over the age of 45. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin.

🔘 𝗚𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀:

This type occurs during pregnancy and typically goes away after childbirth. However, it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life for both the mother and the child.
