Knee arthrosis — also known as knee osteoarthritis — is a progressive condition where the cartilage that cushions your knee joint gradually deteriorates over time. This loss of protective cartilage can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty with everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods.
While the changes may be gradual, early evaluation and management make a significant difference. At Frisco Shoulder Clinic, we focus on:
• Accurate diagnosis using advanced clinical evaluation
• Personalized non-surgical strategies to reduce pain and improve mobility
• Surgical options when appropriate to preserve long-term joint function
Understanding the cause helps you take control of your knee health.

Both high heels and ballet pointe shoes place the foot in extreme plantar flexion, shifting body weight onto the toes. X-rays show increased pressure on the forefoot, compression of toe joints, and misalignment of the ankle and midfoot. Over time, these forces can lead to strain on bones, joints, and soft tissues. The key difference? Ballet dancers train to develop the strength needed to withstand these loads, while everyday high heel wear doesn’t offer that protective adaptation.
At Frisco Shoulder Clinic, we understand the importance of foot health and how misalignments in the lower body can impact overall mobility. Our focus is on providing expert orthopedic care to restore function and alleviate pain, helping you move better and live better.

Can you identify this fracture? 🔍
Fracture patterns vary widely — from transverse to oblique, spiral, comminuted, and more. Spotting the type on an X-ray helps guide the right treatment plan and supports faster, safer healing.
At Frisco Shoulder Clinic, we use precise imaging and expert orthopedic evaluation to classify fractures accurately — so we can develop a personalized plan that restores strength, alignment, and function. Understanding fracture types isn’t just academic … it’s essential for effective recovery.

Dr. Paul J. Ghattas, a leading orthopedic surgeon in Frisco, specializes in advanced shoulder procedures including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, revision surgery, and tendon repair. His focus is on helping patients reduce pain, restore mobility, and return to active lifestyles through personalized, patient-centered care. Rotator cuff tears—caused by injury, overuse, or age-related degeneration—can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion, making early evaluation important.

Not every rotator cuff tear requires surgery. Many patients improve with conservative treatments like rest and physical therapy. However, surgical intervention may be recommended for larger tears, persistent pain, loss of function, or failed prior repairs. Dr. Ghattas carefully evaluates each case, using imaging and clinical assessment to determine the most effective path forward for long-term recovery.

When surgery is needed, options may include minimally invasive arthroscopic repair, open procedures for more complex tears, or revision surgery for prior failed repairs. These approaches are designed to relieve pain, restore strength, and improve function. With proper rehabilitation, many patients can return to daily activities and even sports within a few months, achieving lasting results and improved quality of life.
