Our specialists can assist you with managing a range of hip conditions, including hip injuries requiring a hip replacement and trochanteric bursitis. Our specialists can assist you with managing a range of knee conditions, including anterior cruciate ligament injuries, anterior knee pain, arthroscope, knee replacement and prejudiced knee replacement. Our specialists can help you with managing a range of foot and ankle conditions including ankle sprains and heel pain (plantar fasciitis). Knee arthroscope and sports knee injury reconstruction Hip and knee joint replacement and revision surgery MRI guided patient specific knee replacement. Bearings in hip replacement surgery Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery Outcome measurements New knee replacement system evaluation Tolerant matched customized knee replacements Non operative treatments for knee arthritis Quick recovery protocols following joint replacements. Complete hip replacement technique and outcome Bearing surfaces and head sizing in whole hip replacement Outcome measurements Fast recovery protocols. This overuse injury involves the tendons from the muscles that extend (bend back) the wrist and fingers. These potent muscles have a insignificant tendon that inserts into a trivial area of bone on the external aspect of the elbow (lateral epicondyle). It is a systemic disease affecting the whole body but focusing in the lining of all the joints. Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement Surgery has gained increasing popularity in recent years because of is potential to give more fast recovery from hip replacement surgery. Fresh instrument and surgical technique refinements malicious the Anterior Approach can now be worn safely and reliably to insert a hip replacement that will end the patient for many years. Anterior Approach hip surgery is however not pertinent for all patients. If you have hip osteoarthritis that is affecting your quality of life, our hip surgeons would be glad to discuss the suitability of Hip Replacement surgery for you. Today, your orthopedic surgeon (specialists of bone and joint surgery) can replace your problem hip, thanks to the development of entire hip replacements, which have been proven to yield lengthy term relief. Typically the anterior cruciate ligament is torn when a strict injury occurs to the knee involving extreme twisting which ruptures portion or all of the ligament. Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament results in increased forward movement and rotation of the tibia relative to the femur bone. Injury to the AC is frequently associated with other injuries to the knee such as damage to the meniscal cartilages (shock absorbers of the knee), the bearing surface of the knee, and other ligaments of the knee. Diseases and injuries can damage bones, cartilage, ligaments, muscles and tendons. Today, your orthopedic surgeon (specialists of bone and joint surgery) can replace your problem knee, thanks to the development of whole knee replacements, which have been proven to yield lengthy term relief. The maximum common form of arthritis of the knee is osteoarthritis which is a progressive loss of the bearing surface of the knee (joint cartilage). All bearing surfaces, including artificial knee replacement bearings wear out, therefore age and demands upon the knee influence the decision to replace the impaired out knee or consider other options such as realignment procedures. Prejudiced knee replacement surgery is plausible only when the majority of the knee is not excessively old and the cruciate ligaments (internal ligaments of the knee) are normal. This base provides funding to promote research and development of improved ways of managing orthopedic injuries. Through an energetic Fellowship and Research Program the clinic has made significant contributions to the improvement of orthopedic surgical procedures and techniques.
