Can you answer our FREE Question of the Day? A 37-year-old male construction worker presents to your office with complaints of long-standing knee pain since he played collegiate football. The pain is worst over the lateral joint line and he has a 5° flexion contracture but negative McMurray's sign. On further evaluation, he demonstrates significant standing valgus alignment, which is confirmed to be 15° valgus on full-length standing AP radiographs. Radiographs of the knee do demonstrate early arthritic changes to the lateral compartment but not the remainder of the knee. He has been using non-steroidal anti-inflammatories without much benefit. He has tried an unloader brace which helps for a short period of time without sustained relief. You discuss surgical intervention with him. Between Figures A-E, which would be the most appropriate surgical option for this patient? 1. Figure A 2. Figure B 3. Figure C 4. Figure D 5.

👉🏻 Situated in the knee joint, the 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐀𝐂𝐋) plays a crucial role in stabilising the knee during movements, especially those involving sudden stops, turns or changes in direction. 🦵 However, an ACL tear, commonly encountered in athletes or individuals engaging in rigorous physical activities occurs when the ligament is overstretched or torn, resulting in instability and potential long-term damage if not addressed promptly. Common symptoms of an ACL tear include a popping sensation at the time of injury, immediate swelling and difficulty bearing weight on the affected knee. Accurate diagnosis through clinical evaluation and imaging is essential for an effective treatment plan. A consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon can provide tailored insights, guiding individuals towards informed decisions for the prevention and rehabilitation of ACL tears. 📲 Contact us today to connect with an orthopaedic surgeon who can help you recover and regain your movements! #acl #acltear #orthopaedic #orthopaedicsg #orthoforacltear #jointhealth #kneepain #kneesurgeon #kneespecialist #kneeclinic #kneehealth #aclrecovery #healthcareasia #medicalconditions #medicalsolutions #medicaltreatments #healthiswealth #medicalconsult #medicalspecialists

One of the lesser discussed aspects of dealing with orthopaedic injuries is that it will affect your ability to grow financially due to the medical costs associated with them. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, musculoskeletal diseases cost the U.S. an estimated $874 billion annually in medical care and lost wages.

Humeral shaft fractures are breaks that occur in the long, central part of the upper arm bone, known as the humerus. These fractures can result from various types of trauma and have a range of treatment options depending on the severity and specifics of the break. Causes: Direct Trauma: A direct blow to the arm, such as from a fall, car accident, or sports injury. Indirect Trauma: Twisting injuries or falls onto an outstretched hand that transmit force up the arm. Pathological Fractures: Occur due to weakened bone from conditions like osteoporosis, bone tumors, or infections. Prevention: Safety Measures: Using protective gear in sports, ensuring safe environments to prevent falls. Bone Health: Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercises to maintain bone strength. Avoiding High-Risk Activities: Especially for individuals with osteoporosis or other bone-weakening conditions. Proper management of humeral shaft fractures is essential for ensuring effective healing and restoring full function to the arm.

A quick demo of a drawing done in Timelapse. This case is today in the afternoon. Dreaming about it all night had me up at 4am to get my coffee. Drawing out the plan allowed me to think about all the equipment I have booked for today and the workflow. This process has alerted me to find some old cement in the proximal femur. Suspecting potential infection I decided to send one more addition (bipolar heads) as a plan B backup to all the inventory I have already sent in. Just in case we stage the case and use the bipolar as a spacer. The process of drawing has made sure I never walk into a gun fight with a set of steak knives!!! When taped to the OR lightbox window, this drawing does centre the entire theatre for the surgeon. The team know exactly what they’re dealing with pre-op and what the reconstructive plan is. From radiographers, Ortho techs, theatre nurses and anaesthetics. Everyone is calibrated to the task at hand. Efficiency at a glance. #ortho #arthroplasty #jointreplacement #planning #preparation #hipreplacement #complexsurgery #orthopaedics #rcon #reconnaissance #mutars #mutarsart So Kevin Brown 🎸 do you really think there is a market for me to draw plans globally? Draw interested surgeons upcoming surgical cases? The surgeons’ provide me an X-ray & their implant of choice. I draw a plan/plans and film a video. They get a PDF to print for their case. And I send them the original to give to the patient or hang on their wall. 🧐🧐🧐
