Ankle sprains occur when ligaments supporting the ankle are overstretched, causing them to tear.

Any high-impact sports, wearing of improper footwear, a fall or while walking on uneven surfaces are often the cause of an ankle sprain.

In most instances, the pain and swelling can be relieved with conservative treatment, including RICE therapy, recovery aids and physiotherapy.

For cases of chronic ankle pain and instability from previous ligamentous injuries of the ankle, arthroscopic surgery may be used to reconstruct torn ligaments.

Also known as Jumperโ€™s knee, this is a common cause of knee pain that arises from the inflammation of the patellar tendon.

Inflammation of the patellar tendon can stem from overuse of the knee joint (e.g. from physical activities that involve running and frequent jumping on hard surfaces) or abnormal alignment of lower limbs (e.g. flat feet).

With the patellar tendon inflamed, pain and tenderness can be felt just below the kneecap, along with a popping sensation and swelling when kneeling.

With early surgical repair, knee tendon inflammation can be effectively treated to prevent the patellar tendon from scarring and tightening into a shortened position.

Arthritis in the ankle refers to the wearing down or damage of cartilage in the ankle joint, causing pain, swelling and walking difficulties.

While ankle arthritis cannot be cured, it can still be effectively managed through targeted treatment.

Early-stage ankle arthritis can benefit from conservative means like medications, physiotherapy, assistive devices and lifestyle modifications to relieve pain and limit disability.

Severe cases of ankle arthritis, especially if the pain interferes with daily life or does not respond to conservative treatments, surgery may be recommended to alleviate pain, restore ankle stability and motion.

Serving as a shock absorber, the knee cartilage protects bones from damage and facilitates smooth joint movement.

However, this makes it susceptible to damage, which can arise from wear and tear or forceful twisting of the knee during contact sports.

With a torn knee cartilage, pain, stiffness and limited mobility can occur, interfering with daily activities.

Depending on severity, treatment of knee cartilage tears may involve non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy and supporting devices to help relieve symptoms and prevent disease progression.

That said, for more serious cases, knee cartilage repair may be necessary. This involves suturing the torn pieces together or replacing the torn cartilage with a healthy transplant to restore cartilage function and improve joint mobility.

Symptoms of shoulder dislocation may present as a noticeable deformity in the upper arm, along with swelling, numbness and instability.

Often, to prevent the recurrence of shoulder dislocations, shoulder stabilisation surgery is used to tighten and reattach the ligaments and tissues in the shoulder joint, thereby restoring stability and function of the shoulder joint.

Facilitating everyday motions such as walking, running and standing, the ankle joint is subject to continual stress, which makes it susceptible to a range of injuries that could result in pain and limited mobility.

Injuries to the ankle joint can stem from traumatic accidents, overuse, improper footwear, natural wear and tear, or chronic diseases.

Fortunately, with detailed assessment of your symptoms by an experienced foot and ankle specialist, ankle injuries can be diagnosed and managed effectively.

Treatment for ankle injuries encompasses a range of conservative and surgical means, depending on the severity of the injury. This usually involves assistive devices, medications, physiotherapy and surgery.

Tennis elbow is an overuse injury that happens when tendons in the elbow are inflamed due to repetitive motions of the arm and wrist.

This results in tiny tears in the tendon at its attachment to the bony prominences of the elbow, causing pain to first manifest along the outside of the elbow and spread towards the wrist.

Along with pain, one may also notice a weakened grip, especially when gripping objects, fully extending or bending the arm.

To treat tennis elbow, non-surgical treatments like medications, physiotherapy, steroid or platelet rich plasma injections may be used. However, should the above not suffice or in serious cases, surgery may be required to repair the torn tendon.

Meniscus tears occur when the cartilage between the knee - responsible for absorbing shock and stabilising the knee - gets torn, usually as a result of forceful twisting or degeneration.

Symptoms of a torn meniscus include stiffness, pain, swelling and tenderness, along with a popping sound during movement.

Aimed to alleviate pain, and improve joint mobility and cartilage function, knee cartilage repair can be performed to treat meniscus tears. This procedure can be done via a minimally invasive arthroscopic approach, where the torn pieces are sutured together or damaged areas of the cartilage are removed and replaced with a healthy transplant.

When one or more bones of the ankle joint are forced out of their normal alignment, an ankle dislocation may occur.

A severe injury, ankle dislocation often results from sports activities or previous ankle sprain or fracture injury. Some cases of ankle dislocation may also happen due to abnormal foot shape or underlying health condition with loose ligaments.

With ankle dislocations, immediate and severe pain is often its first sign and can occur alongside other symptoms like swelling, bruising, soreness to touch, and an inability to bear weight.

23/06/2025

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is especially common in athletes, especially those in contact sports like volleyball or basketball due to the frequent pivoting maneuver during sporting activity.

When excessive strain is placed on the ligament, it may become overstretched or torn, causing immediate pain, swelling and a popping sound.

ACL injury can range from a minor sprain to partial or complete tears.

To treat ACL injury, particularly for cases of a partially or completely torn ACL, surgical reconstruction via a minimally invasive arthroscopic approach is recommended. This surgical repair involves replacing the damaged ligament with a healthy tendon to provide stability to the knee joint.

16/06/2025

A total ankle replacement, also known as ankle arthroplasty, may be recommended to treat symptoms of severe ankle arthritis, which can cause persistent pain, swelling and stiffness, as well as difficulty walking.

The procedure involves the removal of damaged bone and cartilage as well as loose tissue via an incision to allow for the replacement of the damaged or diseased joint with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic.

With this procedure, patients can receive symptomatic relief and regain strength and flexibility in the ankle joint.
