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...

What impact can my excess weight have on my knees?
Excess weight puts increased pressure of compressive forces on the cartilage in your knees and premature wear. For every extra pound on your waist, your knees feel 3 extra pounds. This extra pressure can lead to early arthritis and pain. Non weight bearing exercise such as cycling or swimming is best for your knees. Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can heel spurs be treated?
Yes, of course heel pain can be treated. First things first. What's the diagnosis?? Is it heel spurs? Achilles tendonitis? or maybe something else. That's what you need to find out first. However, as a general rule, most "inflammations" that come on after activity are treated with RICE - Rest, ice, compression and elevation. Also take advil - 3 tabs 3 times a day with food. Stretching can help - but only the correct stretching. Get a heel cushion - you can get one at Walmart. If it doesn't get better in a week, see an Orthopaedic surgeon to make sure you're treating the right thing. Dr. Bose READ MORE
We believe my mother dislocated her shoulder. What should we do?
You should go to a doctor or ER and have it X-rayed. It could be dislocated or fractured. Dr. Bose READ MORE
What are the key dietary supplements recommended for bone health after 40?
There are many things that can help maintain good bone health as we age. Weight bearing exercises (such as running) stress the bones and stimulate them to get stronger. Calcium supplements, 5000u Vit D daily and 20 minutes of sunlight on your face daily also will help keep bones strong. If you are female, after menopause, get a Vit D blood level once a year to make sure your Vitamin D levels are in the normal range. Of course, smoking, excessive alcohol and sedentary lifestyle will deteriorate bone quality. Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can a knee surgery help in relieving the pain due to arthritis?
Of course, the whole point of surgery is to relieve pain. Unfortunately, the only "cure" for knee arthritis is a knee replacement. However, since you are young, a knee arthroscopy **may** relieve **some** of your pain (no guarantee). I would try the scope first. If it doesn't satisfactorily relieve pain, then you may need a knee replacement. Dr. Bose READ MORE
partial vs full joint replacment
A partial knee replacement is done when only one of the three parts of a knee has arthritis. They last 8-10 years and then are converted to a total knee. Total knees are done when there is arthritis in 2 or more parts of the knee. Dr. Bose READ MORE
Does a heel bone fracture require a surgery?
Not always. If the fracture is in good position with no displacement of the subtalar joint surfaces, then non-surgical treatment is OK. However, no putting weight on it for at least 12 weeks!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
My knee grinds when I climb stairs. What can be done?
It means that there is rubbing between your patella and femur bone. If it's not painful, PT and avoidance of squatting and minimizing stairs is the way to go. If painful, meds, injections and PT are done first. If that doesn't work, then an arthroscopic procedure may help. Sounds like you are a long way from a knee replacement. READ MORE
Recovery for knee meniscectomy?
If you are a pro or major college athlete, you'll miss 2 games. If you are a normal person 3-4 weeks. You can put weight on the knee immediately without doing damage, but it will be sore for 2-3 weeks. READ MORE
Will I be able to swim again after ankle replacement?
You can swim, but don't jump into the pool. Use the stairs. Recovery is 3 months. READ MORE
Recurring hip pain
Could be many things. Anything from bursitis to a hip torn labrum to a lumbar spine issue. Exercise may be making it worse. Probably best to have an Orthopaedic doctor check it out READ MORE
Inner thigh hurts when walking fast
Probably a strained muscle. Reduce walking speed and duration. Gradually increase after 2 weeks. READ MORE
Broken tibia, fibula and hole in ankle, surgeon suggesting amputation
Sounds like a terrible problem, sorry. If all else has failed, an amputation would relieve pain. People with a below-the-knee amputation do very well. They walk normally with a prosthesis, and most people don't even realize it. It takes a few months for the amputation wound to heal and mature enough to fit it with a prosthesis. READ MORE
I have chronic knee pain
Yes is the short answer. A knee replacement should straighten your knee and give you long-lasting pain relief. READ MORE
Stabbing knee pain when lying down sleeping
It's probably Osgood-Schlotter disease, which is no big deal. It does hurt, but is not dangerous. Read about it. Rest, anti-inflammatory meds, ice is the treatment. It could be other things, but that's a very common problem. READ MORE
ACL repair
If the patient is older (>50). inactive and the knee isn't giving out, then its okay to not repair. However, chance of arthritis goes up. Younger, more active patients usually require repair. Bose READ MORE
