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...

Why does my hip crack every time I move?
Its a tendon snapping over a bony bump. Don't worry about it unless it becomes painful. If it does, see and Orthopaedic Doc. READ MORE
My mother gets sore muscles during the winter. What can be done to help relieve this pain?
Advil - up to 3 tablets 3 times a day with food. Also she should get some mild exercise. Unexercised muscles fatigue quickly and get sore. READ MORE
I feel like I have a hunchback. What should I do?
If you feel its getting worse, then see and Orthopaedic Doctor. Most likely its just a posture issue. READ MORE
My 80 year old mother recently fell and fractured her ankle. How long should it take for her to recover?
Bones take 6-8 weeks to heal. Her recovery may be a little longer due to age and rehab. Total 3 months. Hope it helps! Bose READ MORE
Why do I have pain in my groin area during certain movements?
Yes, you should see an Orthopedist especially if the symptoms are getting worse. Your symptoms could be any of a list of 15 things. Everything from an acetabular labral tear to a hernia to a pinched nerve in your back. An Orthopedist can try to figure which one it is. Hope it helps!! Bose READ MORE
I am suffering from pain around my wrist. What could be causing it?
Pain around the wrist in the absence of trauma can be caused by many things. However, the most common things are carpal tunnel syndrome or a tendinitis. I would take ibuprofen 600mg 3 times a day with food and buy a wrist brace and wear it as much as possible, even when sleeping. If, after 2 weeks, you're not better, see an orthopedic surgeon. Hope it helps, Bose READ MORE
Will steroids help in treating my joint pain?
Yes. However, injections of steroids into joints should only be done 2-3 times a year. The amount of pain relief and the duration of pain relief is highly variable from patient to patient. Hope it helps, Bose READ MORE
Does a fracture take long to heal in older adults?
Probably. There is no proven answer, but in general it may take 10-20% longer than in healthy younger adults. READ MORE
I am having pain in my elbows. What could be the reason?
The most likely problem is lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow. This comes from repeated forceful gripping with the hand. Treatment is to avoid gripping, a tennis elbow strap (by one at a sports store) and advil or aleve. If you don't get better in a few weeks, see an Orthopedic Surgeon. Hope it helps, Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does a knee dislocation take to heal?
This is serious business. If he had a true knee dislocation, this is limb-threatening injury with a possible vascular (blood vessel) injury. You should follow your doctor's instructions EXACTLY. Full recovery may take up to a year and require several surgeries. HOWEVER, he probably only had a patella dislocation. Although a bad injury, it is not limb-threatening. Here, recovery is in the 3-4 month range, provided that the knee cap does not dislocate again. Taking the cast off MAY mess up the recovery, so if the doc says wear it, then wear it. Hope it helps, Bose READ MORE
Could my fall have caused a serious back injury?
Yes, it is possible. Most falls as you described are just bruises or strains and resolve over 2-3 weeks. However, sometimes a fracture or disc injury can occur. If your pain does not improve quickly, then see an orthopedic surgeon. Hope it helps, Dr. Bose READ MORE
I recently recovered from a fractured finger. But after removing the cast, the finger still seems swollen. What could be the reason?
Fingers take a long time for the swelling to come out of them. As long as you're not having pain and the finger has good motion, don't worry about the swelling. READ MORE
How long does a hip replacement take to heal?
She should be pain free by now. The limp is probably due to muscle weakness, which should improve over the next 3-6 mths. If the pain persists for another month, get the surgeon to check her out. It probably is just a tendonitis, nothing serious. READ MORE
After a knee surgery how long should one wait before resuming any sport?
If it was an ACL reconstruction, and he's not a professional athlete, I would wait one year before returning to any sport that involves planting the foot and cutting to a different direction. READ MORE
After a 10k run, I feel a slight swelling in my knee. What could it be?
Most likely due to overexertion of the soft tissues from the run. If it improves after a couple of days with rest an ice, it's not serious. READ MORE
My brother has been diagnosed with tennis elbow. According to you what will be the best course of treatment?
Ice it. Stretch it (google it to see how), take advil (the prescribed amount) and get a tennis elbow strap. Wear the strap whenever you are using the arm to grab things. If it doesn't get better in a couple of weeks, have an Orthopedic Surgeon look at it. READ MORE
For my knee pain should I use hot treatment or cold?
When the pain occurs, put ice on them for 20 minutes 4 times a day. Also take advil or aleve during episodes of pain. READ MORE
My knee is feeling tender and is slightly red. There is also some pain when I bend it. Should I use ice or heat?
Probably something called chondromalacia patella. Avoid squatting and excessive stair climbing, and take the recommended amount of advil for a few days. Ice is good. If it doesn't get better, have an orthopaedic surgeon look at it. READ MORE
Does a sprain require me to be on bedrest?
No. You should be able to get around on crutches for the first week or two after the injury. Then you can begin to put some weight on the leg. Be sure to elevate and ice the ankle for the first two weeks. READ MORE
Is sciatica permanent or can it be cured?
It can be cured. Most people recover from Sciatica with proper treatment in 3-6 mths. Only a small percentage of people require surgery. You'll need to have an x-ray and an MRI for accurate diagnosis. READ MORE
