Leg pain after a car accident is not something to wait and see about.

Bruising and soreness are common, but sharp pain, swelling, numbness, numbness, or trouble walking can signal something more serious.

Our orthopedic team looks beyond the surface to check for fractures, ligament damage, and nerve issues so you do not end up with long term problems.

Hip Replacement Myth #5: My New Hip Set Off Airport Metal Detectors ✈️

This is the most common question patients ask!

The truth? You might, or you might not! Modern joint implants vary, so it's impossible to know until you step through the scanner.

The good news is that you no longer need to carry a special card. TSA agents are highly familiar with joint replacement hardware! You certainly won't be the only traveler with a new hip.

Don't let travel concerns delay your pain relief! Our goal at Alexander Orthopaedics is to get you back to traveling, pain-free.

Hip Replacement Myth #4: We Have to Cut the Muscle to Reach Your Hip

If you've heard that hip replacement requires cutting through major muscles, you're referencing an outdated technique!

At Alexander Orthopaedics, we specialize in the Anterior Approach to hip replacement. This advanced method allows us to:

-Work around muscles instead of cutting through them.
- Ensure your recovery is minimally painful
- Get you moving again sooner!

This is a game-changer for recovery.

Shoulder pain limiting your life? You may have two surgical options:
✔ Traditional Replacement: Best when the rotator cuff is strong
✔ Reverse Replacement: Designed for severe cuff damage or complex arthritis

A traditional replacement mimics natural shoulder anatomy and works best when the rotator cuff is still functioning. A reverse replacement switches the ball-and-socket position, allowing your deltoid muscle, not your damaged rotator cuff, to power the joint.

Every shoulder is different. We help you choose the option that restores mobility and supports long-term comfort.

As we head into the holiday season, we want to help you plan ahead for appointments, refills, and follow-up visits.

Holiday activities often bring their share of sprains, slips, and strains—so if you need orthopedic support before the long weekend, now is the time to get scheduled. Our team is here to make sure you finish the year healthy, safe, and ready for an active 2026.

Hip Replacement Myth #3: The Overnight Stay! 🛌

Worried about having to spend days in the hospital after hip replacement surgery? You might be surprised!

While this was once the standard, modern surgery has evolved. Now, a growing number of our patients go home the very same day!

At Alexander Orthopaedics, same-day discharge means:

-Quicker recovery time.
-More comfortable healing in your own bed.
-Supported by our expert surgical and home-care team every step of the way.

Don't let outdated ideas about hospital stays delay your relief!

Hip Replacement Myth #2: the 10-Year Hip Myth. That's history! 🕰️

Have you put off hip replacement because you thought it only lasts 10 or 15 years?

It's time to let go of that old worry! Thanks to major advancements in materials and techniques, modern hip replacements are designed to last much longer—often decades.

Not every ACL tear needs surgery.

For older adults or those with partial tears, physical therapy may be enough to stabilize the knee.

But if you’re young, active, or play sports that involve pivoting, surgery is often the best path to full recovery. The right treatment depends on your goals.

Not all hip pain is created equal—and location tells a story.

Pain in the groin or inner hip often points to joint problems like arthritis or labral tears. Pain on the outer hip or buttock usually means soft tissue issues like bursitis or tendonitis.

And here’s something surprising: sometimes hip pain is actually referred from the lower back.

If you're experiencing persistent discomfort, don't ignore it. Understanding the source is the first step toward relief.
