Joint surgery is often recommended when pain and joint damage begin interfering with everyday life. But the purpose of the procedure isn’t simply to repair the joint itself.

The goal is to reduce pain, restore movement, and improve overall quality of life. When joints function properly again, many patients are able to return to activities they thought they might have lost.

For many people, that renewed mobility is what truly makes the difference! If you believe joint surgery could help you get your life back, visit us at patricktoymd.com or contact Dr. Toy at 901-861-9610.

Bill still has the patience for fishing, but his knee might disagree. 🎣

Joint pain has a way of sneaking into the activities we enjoy most. When standing, walking, or staying active starts to feel harder than it should, it may be time to look a little deeper at what your joint is telling you.

Understanding the cause of the pain is the first step toward getting back to the things you love doing. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Toy today!

Most people think a knee replacement is just about the implant. It’s not. 🦴

The secret to a knee that feels natural? Balance.

Your knee has ligaments on both sides of the joint. For your knee to move smoothly — from fully straight to fully bent — those ligaments need equal tension at every point. We call that gap balancing.

When it’s right, you forget you even had surgery.

When it’s off? Your body tells you. Pain that lingers. Swelling that keeps coming back. A feeling that your knee might give way. Sometimes the joint stiffens with scar tissue — a condition called arthrofibrosis.

That’s where robotic surgery changes the game. 🦾

Before I make a single cut, the robot helps me plan and predict what those gaps will look like — in extension AND in flexion. I can adjust the implant position virtually, dial in the balance, and then verify it live in the OR.

The robot doesn’t do the surgery. I do.
It just helps me do it better — every single time.

Because a balanced knee isn’t a bonus. It’s the goal.

Spring is finally here — and your joints are asking you to go outside. 🌤️
As an orthopedic surgeon, the single best thing I can prescribe costs nothing and requires no equipment. Just walk.

Here’s what the research says:
🦴 Walking lubricates joints & slows arthritis progression 🏃 It builds bone density & fights muscle loss after 50 ❤️ Just 21 min/day cuts heart disease risk by 30% 🧠 7,000 steps/day = 31% lower odds of depression 💀 Every 1,000 extra steps = 22% lower risk of all-cause mortality

My 2-year-old agrees. Sort of. 😂
Start small. Start today. Your future self will thank you. 🔖 Save this for motivation & share with someone who needs a nudge.

Before I walk in, I think about everything. The moment I walk in, I think about you.

Swollen after surgery or an injury? Here’s what’s happening and what to do about it. 👇

✅ It’s normal — your body is responding to tissue damage

✅ It peaks around 48-72 hours then slowly improves

✅ Left unmanaged, it limits motion and slows healing

Your five best tools:
🔹 Elevate above your heart
🔹 Ice regularly
🔹 Compress the area
🔹 Move gently and often
🔹 Anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or naproxen — if your doctor gives the okay

🚨 Call your provider if you experience:

— Sudden worsening swelling after improving
— Increasing redness, warmth, or fever
— Pain that is getting worse not better

Swelling is part of the process — but you have more control over it than you think.

💉 Cortisone vs. Hyaluronic Acid vs. PRP for Knee Osteoarthritis — Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re dealing with knee pain from osteoarthritis, your doctor may have mentioned one of these three injection options. But how fast do they work, how long do they last, and what will it actually cost you?

Cortisone is the fastest acting of the three — many patients feel relief within just a few days. It’s typically covered by insurance and low cost, making it the most accessible option. However, the relief is often short-term and frequent use can have drawbacks over time.

Hyaluronic Acid takes a few weeks to kick in but can keep you comfortable for up to six months. Coverage varies by insurance plan, so it’s worth checking before your appointment.

PRP is the most regenerative option, using your own blood to stimulate healing from the inside out. It has the most promising long-term potential — but it’s usually not covered by insurance and can run several hundred dollars or more out of pocket.

Not sure which is best for you? That’s exactly what the comparison table at the end of this reel is for. Watch through to see how all three stack up side by side.

👇 Comment below — have you tried any of these injections? We’d love to hear about your experience.

In 2012, I made the switch to the direct anterior approach for total hip replacement. Here’s why I never looked back:

✅ Natural muscle interval - I work between muscles, not through them
✅ Zero muscle detachment - truly minimally invasive technique
✅ Real-time x-ray guidance - intraoperative fluoroscopy allows me to place components with precision and confirm accuracy before closing
✅ Better patient outcomes - same-day walking, no restrictive hip precautions

The anterior approach isn’t just about a smaller incision - it’s about preserving anatomy, maximizing precision, and accelerating recovery.

12 years and thousands of surgeries later, watching my patients return to the activities and people they love makes every day in the OR worth it.

From the operating room to the Magic Kingdom - this is what modern hip replacement can achieve. 🏰

Ever stop to think about the WHAT, HOW, and WHY in everything we do?

These three questions shape our decisions, our actions, and our outcomes—in medicine and in life.

WHAT we address matters.

HOW we approach it determines success.

WHY we do it fuels our journey.

For this patient: Joint replacement wasn’t just about fixing a problem—it was about reclaiming freedom, joy, and the slopes. ❄️⛷️
