Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery: What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery is an integral part of bunion surgery, primarily when the procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques. While recovery experiences can differ from person to person, understanding what to expect can help patients plan their return to daily activities.

During the recovery phase, patients may experience:
• Mild to moderate swelling around the foot
• Gradual improvement in comfort and mobility
• A period of activity adjustment to protect the operated area
• Guidance on footwear, movement, and follow-up care

Follow-up with a foot specialist, such as Dr Tan Ken Jin, helps monitor healing progress and address any concerns along the way. Recovery plans are typically tailored to individual needs, activity levels, and lifestyle. With appropriate care and adherence to post-procedure instructions, many patients can resume their usual routines over time.

Understanding Orthopaedic Trauma Care and When to Seek Help

Orthopaedic trauma refers to injuries involving bones, joints, or surrounding tissues that occur suddenly, such as during sports, falls, or accidents. These injuries can range from sprains and fractures to more complex joint or bone injuries.

It may be helpful to seek medical assessment if you experience:
• Pain, swelling, or difficulty bearing weight after an injury
• Noticeable deformity or limited movement of a limb
• Ongoing pain that does not improve with rest
• Injuries sustained during sports or physical activity

Assessment by a fracture and trauma specialist, such as Dr David Paul Bell, helps evaluate the injury and discuss appropriate management options. Depending on the nature of the injury, care may involve observation, support devices, rehabilitation, or further investigations.
Timely evaluation plays an important role in supporting recovery and reducing the risk of longer-term complications.

Shoulder Weakness or Pain When Lifting? It Might Be the Rotator Cuff

Shoulder discomfort during lifting or exercise is often more than simple muscle fatigue. The rotator cuff plays an important role in stabilising the shoulder and enabling smooth movement, especially during overhead or weight-bearing activities.

You may want to pay attention if you notice:
• Pain or weakness when lifting weights or raising the arm
• Discomfort that worsens with repeated movements
• Reduced strength or control in the shoulder
• Symptoms that persist despite rest

An assessment by a shoulder specialist, such as Dr KC Ang, helps identify whether the rotator cuff may be involved and discuss appropriate next steps. Management may include rest, physiotherapy, activity modification, or further evaluation depending on the findings.

Early attention to shoulder symptoms can help support safe movement and reduce the risk of ongoing issues.

Maintaining Joint Health After Cartilage Treatment

Cartilage treatment is often only one part of the recovery journey. What happens after treatment plays an important role in supporting joint function and comfort over time.

Maintaining joint health may involve:
• Gradual return to movement and daily activities
• Regular stretching and strengthening exercises as advised
• Managing activity levels to avoid unnecessary strain
• Ongoing monitoring of joint symptoms such as stiffness or swelling

Follow-up care with a cartilage specialist, such as Dr KC Ang, helps guide recovery and address any concerns that may arise during this phase. The aim is to support joint movement, stability, and function in a way that suits each individual’s lifestyle and needs.

Consistent care and appropriate activity can help patients stay active while protecting their joints in the long term.

ACL Injury and Long-Term Knee Stability

ACL injuries are commonly associated with sports that involve sudden stops, twists, or changes in direction, such as football. While the initial injury can be painful, the long-term concern is its potential to affect knee stability.

An untreated or poorly managed ACL injury can lead to:
• Repeated knee instability or “giving way”
• Difficulty returning to sports or physical activities
• Increased strain on other knee structures
• Higher risk of early joint wear in the long run

Assessment by a knee specialist, such as Dr KC Ang or Dr David Paul Bell, helps determine the extent of the injury and the most suitable management plan. Depending on the individual and activity level, this may include rehabilitation, activity modification, or further treatment discussions.

Understanding the injury early is essential for protecting knee function and supporting long-term mobility.

When Should You See an Orthopaedic Specialist?

Joint or muscle discomfort can sometimes improve with rest. However, there are situations where it may be helpful to seek an orthopaedic assessment.

You may consider seeing an orthopaedic specialist if you experience:
• Ongoing knee, shoulder, or joint pain that does not improve after a few weeks
• Pain that affects daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping
• Swelling, stiffness, or reduced range of movement in a joint
• Discomfort following a fall, sports activity, or minor injury
• Recurrent pain that comes back even after rest or basic treatment

An orthopaedic consultation helps assess the possible cause of the symptoms and discuss appropriate management options, which may include observation, medication, physiotherapy, or further investigations if needed.

Early evaluation can also help prevent minor issues from becoming more persistent over time.

When Finger Pain Isn’t Just a Sprain: Signs of Trigger Finger

Finger pain is often assumed to be a simple sprain, especially when it happens during daily tasks or long hours of typing. But when the finger catches, locks or feels stiff when bending, it may point to something different, such as trigger finger.

This condition happens when the tendon has trouble gliding smoothly, leading to discomfort or a clicking sensation. It can affect anyone who uses their hands repeatedly, from office workers to people who do manual tasks.

Recognising these signs early helps you understand why the discomfort keeps coming back and whether further assessment may be helpful.

Recurrent Ankle Sprains? Here's What Might Be Going On

If ankle sprains keep happening, it may be more than just an unlucky twist. After the first injury, the ligaments can take time to regain strength. During this period, the ankle may feel less stable, increasing the risk of another sprain, especially during sports or quick movements.

Some people also develop persistent swelling or a feeling that the ankle "gives way." Understanding these patterns early can help manage the issue and reduce the risk of repeated injuries over time.

Foot Specialist Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor sees a variety of ankle-related concerns and guides individuals who experience ongoing instability or repeated sprains.

Common Myths About Bunion Surgery

Bunion surgery is often misunderstood. Some believe it always requires long downtime, while others think it’s only needed for severe pain. In reality, the approach depends on the individual’s symptoms, lifestyle and how the bunion affects daily movement.

Footwear choices can also play a role. Heels and narrow shoes may increase discomfort, while supportive shoes often make walking easier. Understanding the facts helps people make informed decisions instead of relying on common assumptions.

Foot Specialist Dr Tan Ken Jin at Foot & Ankle Doctor manages bunion-related concerns and guides individuals based on their condition and needs.

Common Causes of Fractures in Adults

Fractures can happen for different reasons, not just high-impact accidents. Slips, falls, sports activities, and weaker bone strength with age are among the more common factors. Even a simple misstep can lead to an injury if the force on the bone is greater than what it can handle.

Understanding how these injuries occur helps adults stay more aware of risks in daily life, especially when dealing with uneven surfaces, hurried movements or reduced balance. When a fracture occurs, proper care is important to ensure it heals in the correct position.

Fracture and Trauma Specialist Dr David Paul Bell at OrthoSports manages a range of fracture-related concerns and guides individuals through recovery.

Managing Frozen Shoulder with Gentle Movement and Patience

Frozen shoulder can make simple movements feel stiff and uncomfortable. Recovery often takes time, and many people find that slow, steady exercises help keep the joint from getting tighter.

Gentle movement, guided stretches, and patience with the process can make day-to-day tasks a little easier. If the stiffness persists or starts to significantly affect your routine, getting it checked can help you understand where you’re at and what steps may support recovery.

Shoulder Specialist Dr KC Ang at OrthoSports manages shoulder-related concerns and provides guidance for individuals experiencing ongoing stiffness or limited movement.
