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!

Debating if you should see an orthopaedic specialist due to knee, shoulder or hip pain? Dr. J Robert Gavin recommends calling for a consult prior to the Holiday rush.
It is time to address your pain and hopefully get it resolved. Many long lasting, conservative treatments- cortisone injections, PT, behavior modifications etc. are available prior to surgery.
Better to let a specialist like Dr. Gavin identify the problem-to get it resolved, then to live with the fear of the unknow and what if. Call today 843.681.5077 for a consult.

Dr. J Robert Gavin Jr would like to acknowledge and thank his incredible staff at all our locations- Gavin Orthopadics, Moss Creek and Okatie Urgent Care Clinics and Okatie Physical Therapy. Each individual is so important to the effectiveness and efficiency of our orthopaedic clinics.
Of course, it goes without saying that empathy and compassion are also critical to making our businesses so successful. The hard work, attention to detail, kindness, comradery. The late hours, the hand holding of scared patients, the hour long waits for insurance approvals.
Delivering the best orthopaedic healthcare in the Lowcountry would not be possible without all of you. thank you.
