Thinking about scheduling your joint replacement surgery? National PT Month is a great time to highlight the crucial role it plays in helping you regain mobility, strength and function. After a joint replacement, physical therapy (PT) plays a crucial role in helping you regain mobility, strength, and function. PT can: 👉 Improve joint flexibility and range of motion 👉 Speed up recovery and reduce pain 👉 Prevent complications, such as blood clots or stiffness 👉 Help you safely transition back to daily activities According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, most patients who engage in consistent PT see significant improvements in their mobility and quality of life after #jointreplacement surgery. If you're planning your surgery soon, make sure to talk to your surgeon about setting up a PT plan as part of your recovery! #shoulderreplacement #kneereplacement #hipreplacement #anklereplacement #NationalPhysicalTherapyMonth American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)

Did you know a innovation in 1939 changed the course of orthopaedic surgery? 🔬 The Art of Scientific Innovations: Transforming Modern Orthopaedic Medicine 🌟 In 1939, Gerhard Kuntscher revolutionized orthopaedic surgery with the introduction of intramedullary (IM) nailing. By performing the first nailing procedure on a human, Kuntscher's innovation used an entry point away from the fracture site, emphasizing the stability of fixation and the importance of the device's diameter. This groundbreaking technique has paved the way for modern orthopaedic practices, significantly improving patient outcomes and recovery times. #ThemisMedicare 🏥 #Hospitals #DoctorClinic #MedicalHistory #EmergencyCare #Orthopaedicians #Orthopaedician 🦴 #Fracture #kneesurgery #OrthopaedicSurgeon #OrthopaedicSurgery Series 4 - https://lnkd.in/d5FU4yZD Series 3 - https://lnkd.in/dgFceuKr Series 2 - https://lnkd.in/dHdjtwX4 Series 1 - https://lnkd.in/dAcHU-xr
