Concussion alert! According to the Journal Of Bone and Joint Surgery, the following exert is of interest to all our Lowcountry sports enthusiasts:

"A retrospective analysis of 12 high school programs (14,461 athletes) from 2010 to 2017 found that high school athletes who sustained a concussion had a similarly elevated risk for musculoskeletal injury within a year, compared with collegiate athletes33. Gender and sport were controlled for in the analysis. These results suggest that neuromuscular rehabilitation and injury prevention protocols may be useful during the post-concussion period in high school athletics and that return-to-play criteria may need modification to reduce future musculoskeletal injury risk in this population."

Korinne Dodd, DPT and her team, at Okatie Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine located at Riverwalk addresses all rehabilitation needs.

Dr. Robert Gavin specializes in partial knee replacements. Schedule an appointment to see if you are a candidate for partial knee replacement, as opposed to total knee replacement.

Are there benefits of PKR over TKR surgery?
PKRs may be more suitable if you lead an active lifestyle. Most people in Hilton Head and Bluffton are extremely active!!! Tennis, Golf, pickleball not to mention just living life!
According to the AAOS, PKR surgery may have a few advantages over TKR, including:
shorter hospital stay
faster recovery and rehabilitation period
less pain following surgery
less trauma and blood loss
better knee mobility
more “natural” feeling in the knee
Call 843.681.5077 to set up a consultation to see if a PKR would be appropriate for you!
