Pain Control After Orthopaedic Surgery
Achievement of a good outcome after an orthopaedic procedure such as knee, hip or shoulder replacement, fracture repair, rotator cuff repair, or hip arthroscopy requires that the extremity moves immediately after surgery. We call this “early mobilization”. But, when the patient has pain,...
Surgical Volume Matters
Many, many factors come together to obtain an excellent outcome for the patient after orthopedic surgery. Patient expectations and attitudes, and medical diseases all play a role. However, the skill of the surgeon also plays a significant role. Research has shown time and time again that if a...

How do you get bursitis elbow?
If it is on the tip of the elbow, it's called olecranon bursitis. That is usually caused by repetitive pressure or rubbing of the skin at the tip of the elbow. People who crawl on their elbows get it commonly. Make sure you're not resting or rubbing on the tip of the elbow. Wear an elbow pad like volleyball players do. Usually, it will go away. If not, see an orthopedic surgeon. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Is a back brace good for computer work?
Sure, I could not argue with using a brace while sitting for long periods of time. However, it's not a cure all. In addition, I would recommend stretching of your hamstrings and back strengthening exercises (look up on google). Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What is the alternative to knee replacement surgery?
I would love to tell you there is a good option. In a 40-year-old male, there is occasional injections of steroid (3-4 per year) or viscoelastic supplementation, and meds. Surgical options include osteotomy, or partial knee replacement or perhaps a knee arthroscopy to "clean out" the knee. These surgeries have varying degrees of success. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can osteoporosis occur in children?
Not in a normal child with no real medical problems. In certain conditions such as a congenital metabolic disorder it can occur. In severe Vitamin C or D deficiency it is possible, but that is rare in the United States. Hope it Helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How do I stop my big toe from hurting?
Big toe pain in a young man would probably be improper shoe wear. Make sure your shoes are wide in the front so they don't squeeze your foot. Make sure your big toe does not hit the front of your shoe. Also, if the bottom of your toe hurts when walking you may have turf toe. If this is the case, then you'll have to not bend up your big toe to keep from aggravating it. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Does sitting cross-legged stretch hip flexors?
No, that stretches the hip abductors. To stretch the flexors, lie on your stomach on the floor. Keeping your pelvis on the floor, lift your upper body with your arms. This will extend the hip joint and will stretch the hip flexors. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How do you strengthen weak ankle ligaments?
Check out the YouTube video. It explains some exercises well: https://youtu.be/g-iXYapbuqk Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
When should you have plantar fasciitis surgery?
Plantar fasciitis surgery is not always successful. Therefore, I recommend at least a 6- to 9-month course of treatment which includes stretching, anti-inflammatory medication, immobilization in a walking boot or night splints and a couple of corticosteroid injections. This treatment will be successful at 99% of people. If and only if you fail the above, then should you have any surgery. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long after foot surgery can you walk?
Completely depends on the type of surgery. If it's a bone fusion, 8 weeks. If a soft tissue procedure, usually about 4 weeks. Ask your doctor. He will probably make you wear a cast or boot for 4 weeks as well. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What happens if you leave a sprained ankle untreated?
Most likely, It will heal fine on its own. I had several untreated ankle sprains as a teenager. It will just take longer to heal than with treatment. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What is the best pain reliever for bursitis?
Ibuprofen 600-800 mg 3 times a day with food. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can hip bursitis cause pain down the leg?
Yes, as far down as the outside part of the thigh to the knee. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
When should I see a doctor for leg pain?
See a doctor for the following reasons: if you have had a traumatic event with bruising swelling or deformity. If your pain persists despite rest, elevation and anti inflammatory meds. Or if you have numbness or weakness in the leg, swelling that does not get better with elevation. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What causes bone pain in your legs?
"Bone pain" is a vague term that can mean many things. The most common is knee inflammation, muscle overuse, leg swelling (edema), back degenerative disc disease, or even just muscle fatigue from being on you feet all day. If rest, Advil 3 tablets 3 times a day does not improve your pain, see an orthopedic doctor. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What are the signs of arthritis in your feet?
As a general rule, the symptoms of arthritis are pain in a joint with activity, swelling, stiffness and warmth. It could be in any joint, the ankle, toes or even in the middle of the foot. Try rest, and Advil 3 tablets 3 times a day. Once you are better, wear cushioned shoes with a low heel. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Why do the top of my feet hurt?
You may have been born with a high arched foot. It could be that your shoe wear is causing the problem. Try a change in shoe wear - a lower heel - to see if it helps. If not, let an Orthopedic Surgeon who has been specially trained in foot look at it. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Does massage help with knee pain?
It may help, and certainly won't hurt anything, so try it!! Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does it take for a bursitis to go away?
With proper treatment, there is an 80%-90% chance it will go away in 2-3 months. Proper treatment includes NSAIDS, injections, and physical therapy. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Why does back pain hurt more at night?
Probably because you're lying there with nothing else to think about. It may be your mattress if it is too soft. Try doing Williams lumbar strengthening exercises. Google them. Do it every day. Your back pain will probably get better in a month or two. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How do you check for tennis elbow?
