As one of the most common shoulder conditions, a rotator cuff tear refers to the partial or complete tearing of tendons from the humerus, resulting in pain and limited shoulder function.

Tearing of the rotator cuff can stem from a combination of age-related degeneration and overuse, or injury.

Depending on the extent of the tear, treatment for rotator cuff tears can include conservative methods like medications or physiotherapy to reduce pain and improve shoulder function. This is usually reserved for mild to moderate tears.

In cases of severe tears, rotator cuff repair may be required, where the tendon is reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors to restore shoulder function and flexibility.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an orthopaedic surgeon proficient in minimally invasive repair of the rotator cuff. Should you experience persistent pain and limited mobility in the shoulder, seek orthopaedic care from Dr Seng today.

A strong fibrous band of tissue that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, the Achilles tendon is responsible for everyday motions such as jumping, running and walking.

However, this makes it prone to injury from repetitive stress and pressure on the tendon, resulting in pain, stiffness and swelling at the back of the heel.

Most Achilles tendon injuries can be treated with conservative means, including anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy.

For more severe Achilles tendon injuries, particularly complete ruptures, Achilles tendon repair can be performed to repair the ruptured tendon.

Arthritis in the ankle refers to the degeneration or inflammation of cartilage in the ankle joint, typically caused by past injury or underlying medical conditions.

Pain with motion, swelling and tenderness can result from ankle arthritis, which can limit the range of motion in the ankle and make walking difficult.

Treatment of ankle arthritis can involve physiotherapy, assistive devices and medications, with the ultimate goal of relieving pain and limiting disability.

However, for severe cases where the pain becomes unbearable and interferes with daily life, surgery may be recommended to restore ankle stability and motion.

As one of the main ligaments in the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is often prone to damage, especially when it is stretched beyond its normal range.

Damage to the ACL tends to occur in sports activities that involve actions like abrupt stopping or pivoting. Direct impact on the knee can also cause the ACL to tear.

With a torn ACL, one may experience sharp pain, swelling, stiffness and a popping sound during movement.

To treat ACL tears effectively, particularly for cases of a partially or completely torn ACL, surgical reconstruction is recommended. Using a minimally invasive arthroscopic approach, the torn ACL is replaced with a tendon graft to provide stability to the knee joint.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an orthopaedic surgeon proficient in ACL reconstruction surgery. Schedule an appointment with Dr Seng today for prompt and effective treatment.

13/04/2026

Characterised by pain, stiffness and a restricted range of motion in the shoulder, frozen shoulder occurs when the shoulder capsule thickens and tightens.

While the exact cause of frozen shoulder is still unknown, the lack of usage and inflammation of tissues surrounding the shoulder joint are believed to contribute to the condition.

With the goal of relieving pain, stiffness and improving shoulder motion, various non-surgical treatments can be administered, including medications, physiotherapy and corticosteroid injections.

However, should symptoms persist or when conservative treatments are not effective, surgical intervention via a minimally invasive arthroscopic approach can help stretch and release the stiffened joint capsule.

Jumper’s knee, or knee tendon inflammation, arises when the patellar tendon is strained.

The straining of the tendon usually stems from overuse of knee joint (e.g. in activities that involve running and frequent jumping on hard surfaces) or abnormal alignment of lower limbs (e.g. flat feet).

To effectively treat jumper’s knee, surgical repair of patellar tendon can be performed. This involves reattaching the torn tendon to the kneecap to prevent the patellar tendon from scarring and tightening into a shortened position.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is an orthopaedic surgeon with vast experience in the surgical repair of jumper’s knee. Seek medical advice from Dr Seng if symptoms of jumper’s knee are suspected.

Knee cartilage tears occur when the cartilage in the knee is damaged, usually caused by gradual wear and tear or a forceful twisting of the knee during contact sports.

With a torn knee cartilage, audible clicking or popping sounds may be heard with movement, and are accompanied by stiffness, pain, swelling and tenderness in the knee.

To treat knee cartilage tears, surgical repair of the knee cartilage via a minimally invasive approach is recommended. This procedure involves suturing the torn pieces together or replacing the torn cartilage with a healthy transplant to restore cartilage function and improve joint mobility.

16/03/2026

Characterised by a stabbing pain in the heel, plantar fasciitis is a foot condition where the thick connective tissue that runs from the heel to the toes (plantar fascia) becomes inflamed.

The inflammation is usually a result of excessive strain of the tissue, causing numerous microtears that lead to degeneration and inflammation.

Treatment of plantar fasciitis can involve physiotherapy, pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications to help relieve symptoms and strengthen the foot and calf muscles.

For cases of chronic or severe heel pain, steroid injections, extracorporeal shock wave therapy or minimally invasive surgery may be used to treat.

As the most flexible joint in the body, the shoulder is largely responsible for a wide range of movements, including reaching, lifting, and rotating.

However, repetitive motion and constant use of the shoulder, direct trauma or certain medical conditions can potentially result in injuries and illnesses in the shoulder.

Shoulder conditions and injuries tend to present with pain, limited mobility, stiffness and looseness in the shoulder joint. However, should the pain persist for over a week and is accompanied by fever, deformity and weakness, be sure to seek medical advice.

An experienced orthopaedic specialist can perform a thorough assessment to accurately determine the exact cause and provide effective treatment, which may include physiotherapy, medications, bracing, corticosteroid joint injections, and shoulder surgery.

02/03/2026

When the ligaments supporting the ankle overstretch and tear due to an accidental twisting of the ankle joint, an ankle sprain can occur.

Ankle sprains often affect athletes participating in high-impact sports like basketball or tennis, but they can also happen to those who walk or exercise on uneven surfaces, or in a fall.

Thankfully, most ankle sprains can be treated with conservative treatments, which include RICE therapy, recovery aids and physiotherapy.

For more serious cases of ankle sprains with chronic instability and pain, minimally invasive ankle arthroscopy may be performed to reconstruct the torn ligaments.

𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗴 π—–π—΅π˜‚π˜€π—΅π—²π—»π—΄ is a foot and ankle surgeon with vast experience in treating ankle sprains. If you are experiencing symptoms of acute pain, swelling, tenderness and an inability to bear weight on the affected ankle, consult with Dr Seng for prompt medical advice to prevent complications.
