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...

Can a chiropractor help with a back injury?
Yes chiropractors treat people with back pain all the time. Another option is a physical therapist, which I personally prefer. Please remember that the fix will not happen overnight. It will be a process. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Should I be worried?
That is not unusual. Wash it gently with dial antibacterial soap 3 times a day, then put neosporin ointment on it and cover with a big bandaid or gauze. It will take a couple of weeks to heal. Hope it helps!!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Surgery and reopened wound?
You are doing fine. There was a series of unfortunate events that delayed your surgery and ultimate recovery. Keep this in mind, you are 33 years old and you will need your foot for another 60 years. Therefore a delay of 2 weeks is not a long time compared to 60 years. Tendons take 8-12 weeks to heal, so you will be in the boot for a while. Wear it whenever your foot hits the floor. No exceptions. Doing that will speed your recovery up. I see no reason the surgery would be delayed on June 17, READ MORE
Does climbing stairs help strengthen the knee after a miniscus surgery?
Climbing stairs will strengthen your quad muscles but it may put undue stress on your meniscus if it was repaired. Most positions prefer straight leg raises because this exercise strengthens the quads but does not put stress on the knee. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Back and hip pain
You may have a pinched nerve in your back which is causing the back pain and the atrophy in the muscle in your leg. You should see an orthopedic surgeon immediately. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Both feet are swollen?
It's possible you may have a blood clot, so get that checked. However, if you have swelling in BOTH feet and ankles, then you are probably retaining fluid, most likely because your blood pressure is high. Get that checked as well. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Hamstring injury and hip bone
Because the muscle has torn off of the bone. That is a ty[e of a hamstring tear. Hope it helps!! READ MORE
Retained wooden foreign body?
If the surgeon could not find it, then it is probably a small piece of wood that is left. One of two things will happen. The foreign body will get infected and pus will form around it that will need to be drained and the wood will come out then. Otherwise, the remaining wood is small and the body will wall it off with scar tissue and it won't be a problem. Hope it helps! READ MORE
Can chiropractors help with tennis elbow?
No.. chiropractic manipulation will only make it worse. You need an Orthopaedic Surgeon. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How much pain is too much in a medical boot?
Based on your email, you had an ankle fracture 7 weeks ago. At 7 weeks, the bone should be healed and the bone would not be the cause of pain. You should be able to put full weight on it. Your pain is probably due to stiffness of the soft tissues of your ankle due to the cast. As you stretch and move the foot, the pain will get better. Give it a week. If you're not better, go back to see the doctor. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long do you stay in hospital after hammertoe surgery?
It is usually an outpatient surgery. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long do you stay in hospital after heel surgery?
Usually just one night. Maybe 2. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Femur related questions?
YES, it can come out, but It is a surgery with all the usual possible complications. Recovery is 4-6 weeks. I would recommend leaving it alone unless it is causing a significant amount of pain. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How often should I ice my lower back strain?
20 minutes 3-4 times per day. More often won't hurt. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Surgical question (distal bicep tendon)?
Yes. For best results, it should be repaired within 2 weeks of the rupture. The longer you wait the results of surgery go down. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long do you stay in the hospital with a fractured hip?
Once the surgery is completed usually 2 to 4 days Hope it helps!! Dr Bose READ MORE
Yoga and herniated lumbar disc
Based on your description, you might be aggravating your spine condition by doing the yoga poses. Therefore, I would hold off until you get the MRI. Instead focus on isometric core exercises. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Fractured wrist
Go to the doctor and get an x-ray because if it's out of place it may need to be set. They will cover you and the baby with a lead shield so neither of you will get any radiation. At 7 months, it wouldn't hurt the baby even if they didn't cover you with a lead shield, so don't worry about it. Hope it helps! READ MORE
left lower leg pain
It is both. Shin splints are due to the sudden onset of overworking the muscles of the leg. It happens in runners, soccer players, basketball, and baseball players most of the time. The only cure is to rest. You must reduce the frequency and severity of your workouts if you expect them to get better. Take Advil 3 tablets with each meal for 2 weeks. If the rest and advil don't get you better, see an Orthopaedic specialist. Hope it helps! READ MORE
i just need to know if it hurts to get a cast on a broken leg
Not really. If you hold still the bone won't move and it will not hurt. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
