Microfracture surgery rehab depends on where the damage is, if the microfracture is on a weight-bearing surface of the knee (femoral condyle or tibial plateau), you must be strictly non-weight-bearing for at least 6 weeks as walking too early can cause the surgery to fail.

If the microfracture is on a non-weight-bearing surface (behind the kneecap), you can weight-bear immediately and even use a stationary bike.

Location matters, follow the right protocol for a successful outcome.

Why is micro fracture surgery in the knee often unsuccessful ? It’s not the type of surgery but it’s more likely that you’ve been allowed to fully weight-bear post-operatively.

The postop protocol for a micro fracture on a weight-bearing surface is four weeks no weight-bearing with regular cycle loading on a stationary bike.

There is a link between the use of Ciprofloxacin antibiotic and Achilles tendon pain. We know that some antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin which is part of the fluoroquinolone group can have an effect on tendons, producing a tendinopathy.

If you use one of these antibiotics and it results in bilateral Achilles pain or patella tendon pain or tennis elbow pain affecting the tendons, you’d be well advised to speak to your GP or doctor about looking for an alternative medication.

It’s not uncommon that patients will consult me with tendon pain and we make the link with these antibiotics.

If you damage your articular cartilage, which is the structure that covers bones in a joint, would you believe if you’re under the age of 20 there is a capacity for that articular cartilage to fully regenerate back to normal…

Who would’ve thought this was the case! There is little data that is available on this, however, when speaking to experienced orthopaedic surgeons with high volume, when they re-operate on patients that have had damage to the articular cartilage below the age of 20, some 20 years later, they see complete healing.

An important fact that should be considered when treating adolescents or younger adults who have early age articular cartilage damage.

When looking at the size of an anterior cruciate ligament graft, by increasing the diameter by 1 mm from let’s say 7 mm to 8 mm, we increase the cross-sectionsl area by more than 30%.

If we increase the graft size from 8 mm to 10 mm, we get a 60% increase in cross-sectional area… Crazy numbers….

We would assume also if there’s a 30% increase in cross-sectional area or even a 60% increase this could equate to both 30% and 60% increases in strength of the new graft.

Size does matter!

A quick shoutout to our friend of the clinic Mandeep (Manners) Tahim and his fellow STUDS who are completing the Phuket Triathlon later this year with the aim to raise $100,000 towards Caring For Cambodia; an organisation aimed at helping improve education for Cambodian children.

We wish Mandeep and the crew all the best and any donations towards the cause are greatly appreciated!
