With more than 36,000 people in Australia undergoing hip replacement surgery annually, our 12 hip surgeons are experts when it comes to hip replacements. As the bearing surface of the hip deteriorates, the joint becomes painful, stiff and less mobile, making simple activities of daily living difficult. We will investigate non-surgical options as a first point of action to our patients, which may include analgesics, weight loss, anti-inflammatory medications, modification of activities, walking sticks and physiotherapy. However, when conservative methods of treatment fail to provide adequate symptom relief, total hip replacement is considered. Hip replacements are one of the most effective operations and should give patients many years of freedom from pain. If you have a patient you suspect has arthritis and may be a candidate for a hip replacement, refer them with confidence today to Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic: https://lnkd.in/gUmTj_xf #Orthopaedics #Surgeon #Doctor

Myths & Misconceptions with Dr Sekeitto. Myth: Orthopaedic Care is Exclusive to Athletes and Older Adults. It's a widespread misconception that orthopaedic care is only relevant for athletes or older individuals. In reality, people of all ages and activity levels can experience orthopaedic issues due to genetics, lifestyle factors, work-related risks, or accidents. Orthopaedic care encompasses a wide range of conditions affecting anyone with musculoskeletal concerns. Misconception: Orthopaedic Surgery Should Always be a Last Resort. There's a common belief that orthopaedic surgery should be avoided whenever possible and considered a last resort. While surgery isn't necessary for every orthopaedic condition, it can offer significant benefits in specific cases. Advances in surgical techniques, including minimally invasive procedures and enhanced recovery protocols, have made orthopaedic surgery safer and more effective, providing transformative outcomes for many patients. These misconceptions highlight the importance of education and individualised treatment plans in orthopaedic care. #Arthroplasty #MedicalProfessional #Orthopaedics #Joints #MythsAndMisconceptions

Myths & Misconceptions with Dr Sekeitto. - Myth: Orthopaedic care is exclusive to athletes and older adults It's a common myth that orthopaedic care is only relevant for athletes or older individuals. While these groups may be more susceptible to orthopaedic issues, people of all ages and activity levels can encounter such problems. Genetics, lifestyle, work-related risks and accidents can contribute to orthopaedic concerns. - Misconception: Orthopaedic surgery should always be a last resort There's a prevailing belief that orthopaedic surgery should be avoided whenever possible and considered a last resort. While surgery isn't always the go-to solution for orthopaedic conditions, it can offer significant benefits in certain cases. Advances in surgical techniques, minimally invasive procedures and enhanced recovery protocols have made orthopaedic surgery safer and more effective. - Misconception: Exercise aggravates orthopeadic conditions Another misconception is that exercise can worsen orthopaedic conditions or lead to more damage. Contrary to this belief, appropriate exercise and physical activity are frequently prescribed as part of the treatment plan for orthopaedic conditions. Exercise plays a vital role in strengthening muscles, enhancing flexibility, promoting joint stability and improving overall function. #OrthoJoints #Arthroplasty #MedicalProfessional #Orthopaedics #Joints

Idiopathic scoliosis – a curvature of the spine with no clear cause cause -- is the most common spinal deformity in children. A night brace, such as the Providence® or Boston Night Shift brace, is an important therapy for these young patients. While the patient is lying down, gravity has less effect on the spine and the brace can do a better job of correcting the curve. There’s also less pressure and better compliance when the social aspects of daytime brace wear are eliminated. This means compliance rates can be higher. However, no large studies have explored the success of night bracing to prevent scoliosis surgery. Now, a team of pediatric orthopaedic surgery specialists from UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s has created a predictive model identifying the factors that lead to success for young patients with idiopathic scoliosis during treatment with a night brace. This new information provides important guidance for both clinicians and parents. The model relies on 26 years of data on idiopathic scoliosis patients treated at UH Rainbow, spanning from 1994 to 2020. “Being able to predict the likelihood of scoliosis surgery during bracing is important for several reasons,” says study co-author Christina Hardesty, MD, pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at UH Rainbow. ”It can identify high-risk candidates and lead to earlier implementation of bracing in some cases. It can be used as a factor in counseling patients about complying with their bracing intervention. At the same time,” she says, “it can identify patients who require closer follow-up and help doctors choose the best type of brace.” Read more at https://lnkd.in/giEqXtDR #scoliosis #childrenshealth #healthcaredecisions #patientsfirst

At One Orthopaedics, we understand that when non-surgical treatments for hand and wrist arthritis no longer suffice, surgical options may be considered. Hand and wrist fusion surgery is one such option, often preferred by those who need enhanced strength and stability in their hand. This procedure can significantly reduce pain and improve grip strength, making it a suitable choice for younger patients or those in manual occupations. While fusion does limit range of motion compared to a trapeziumectomy, its benefits in terms of power and durability can be substantial. Though this surgery is generally routine and complications are rare, it’s important to be aware of potential risks, including infection, pain, stiffness, nerve injury, and possible shortening of the thumb. At One Orthopaedics, we are committed to personalised recovery plans to support each patient's unique needs and surgical specifics.

Top 5 Orthopedic Surgical Procedures for Optimal Patient Outcomes 🏥💡 As a nurse with extensive experience in the operating room, I’ve had the privilege of assisting in some of the most effective and transformative orthopedic surgeries. Here are the top 5 procedures that consistently deliver excellent results: 1️⃣ Total Joint Replacement (Hip/Knee Arthroplasty) This procedure replaces damaged joints with artificial implants, offering pain relief and restored mobility for patients with arthritis or joint injuries. 2️⃣ Arthroscopy A minimally invasive technique allowing surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems using a camera and specialized instruments, leading to quicker recovery and reduced complications. 3️⃣ Spinal Fusion Used to treat chronic back pain, this surgery fuses two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine, providing relief from conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs. 4️⃣ ACL Reconstruction A common procedure for athletes, it repairs the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, ensuring patients regain strength and stability for a more active lifestyle. 5️⃣ Fracture Repair Whether internal or external fixation is used, timely and precise fracture repair helps patients heal properly and regain full function in the affected area. Each of these procedures plays a critical role in enhancing patient mobility and quality of life. I am proud to be part of a team that ensures the highest standards of care and safety in the OR. #OrthopedicSurgery #PatientCare #SurgicalNursing #ORNursing #JointReplacement #HealthcareInnovation #NursingExcellence

Ronald Gary Woods, 63, found relief from 15 years of knee pain through innovative surgery at Mayo Clinic Health System. Dr. Jacob Ziegler performed bilateral knee replacement using new sensor technology licensed by Zimmer Biomet. These smart orthopaedic implants include a sensor that remotely monitors the patient's recovery, tracking range of motion, steps, and gait data. Woods, one of the first patients worldwide to receive single-surgery bilateral smart knee replacements, embraced the technology for its potential in research and personal recovery tracking. The procedure, performed on March 26, marks a significant advancement in orthopaedic care. Read More: https://lnkd.in/dy5wAy7T Dr. Ziegler and Dr. Cory Couch are currently the only Mayo Clinic surgeons implanting these smart knee replacements. The technology allows for daily monitoring of patient progress through a specialized app. As Mayo Clinic concludes its trial period, these innovative implants are expected to become widely available. This development could potentially transform post-operative care and research in knee replacement surgeries. The smart implants function like standard knee replacements but offer valuable data for both patients and medical professionals. #mededgemea #Orthopaedics #KneeReplacement #SmartTechnology #MayoClinic #HealthInnovation
