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...

Is walking barefoot good for flat feet?
If you have flat feet and you can walk without pain, then you are not doing any harm to your feet. However, if they become painful, don't walk barefooted. Get shoes with a good arch support or get some inserts from any store that has good arch supports and put them in your shoes. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What shoes are good for flat feet?
Flat feet are common in the population and has been shown to give no serious long-term medical problems for the patient. However, it's best to try to keep your feet from getting worse. So, the easiest thing to do is to buy some "off the shelf" shoe inserts which provide good arch support. Here's my recommendation: Don't go barefoot or wear house slippers or flip flops. Buy shoes that have good arch support, even though they may be more expensive. Always have shoes with good support every time your feet hit the floor. Finally, get some arch supports from any big box store. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Do you need physical therapy after arthroscopic knee surgery?
It depends. If you are self motivated, have good quad strength, and can tolerate pain then not necessarily. If you are weak, not pain tolerant and not self motivated, then you would need PT. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Is it worth having a spinal fusion?
The answer is, it depends. If you have a specific level of disease and you have tried a very long course of nonsurgical treatment that has failed, then yes, the spinal fusion would be the next step. However, if you have multiple level disease or have not tried nonsurgical treatment, then I would advise trying nonsurgical treatment before any surgery. READ MORE
How do you know if your Achilles tendon is torn or ruptured?
You feel something like a tennis ball hitting you on the back of your leg. You are unable to push your foot down to come up on your toes. There may be a defect or gap you can feel where the tendon should be located. Go see an orthopedic surgeon, because if it is torn, most of the time it needs to be surgically repaired for optimum functioning. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Why do my feet hurt after wearing orthotics?
Could be any of a number of reasons. If they are new, then it takes 2-3 months to get used to them. They may not be custom or formed properly to your feet or you may have the wrong orthotic for the problem that you have. Are they "off the shelf"?? Although more expensive, the best results for orthotics are ones that are custom formed for your feet and for the proper diagnosis. See an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot problems, not a podiatrist. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from torn meniscus surgery?
For NFL players, they miss 2-3 games. For us mere mortals, 3-4 weeks if it is a simple meniscectomy. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What happens if you don't do physical therapy after spine surgery?
I know PT is a pain and it is expensive. The main thing is to let the spine heal, especially if it is a fusion. After 8 -12 weeks, it is time to get the spine muscles strong again. If you are motivated you could do it at home. However, most people are just not tough enough to do it alone, so go for a few sessions at least and learn what you need to do at home. Then do the exercises every day at home. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does hip hurt after replacement?
Most patients tell me they have LESS pain 1 day after a hip replacement than they did before the surgery. Most of the pain is gone at 7-10 days. Soreness lasts 4-6 weeks after surgery, then most patients have little or no pain. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long can a bruised elbow hurt?
4-6 weeks. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Knee pain?
Based on your history and your age, it is either arthritic pain or you have a torn meniscus. See an orthopedic doctor asap. Stay on the walker till then. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What foods should you avoid if you have bursitis?
Bursitis is an inflammation of tendons or more specifically the covering of tendons in the body. There is no conclusive scientific evidence that any foods increase bursitis. However, gout is an inflammation of certain joints of the body. There are foods that can increase the chance a gout inflammation attack. Certain foods such as red wine, chocolate and red meat can increase the chance of having a gout attack. I would suggest to you that you would void those things just to see if it makes any difference in your bursitis. A trial of one month should be sufficient. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What causes fluid in the knee?
If you're talking about fluid between the skin and the kneecap, that is called prepatella bursitis. Between the skin and knee cap is a pillowcase called the bursae. Normally the pillowcase is flat or empty. When the pillowcase is irritated, it swells with fluid. Kneeling, crawling, or bumping the front of the knee can cause the pillowcase to swell. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does it take for tendonitis in the knee to heal?
It usually takes 3 to 4 to 6 weeks. During that time, rest, ice, avoid any activity that causes pain, and anti-inflammatory medications should be taken. When returning to sports, do it gradually with low intensity and in short time frames. As long as the pain does not occur, you can gradually increase the time and the intensity. READ MORE
What should you not do with a bulging disc?
Heavy lifting > 50lbs. Repetitive bending at the waist. Lifting from the floor to waist or overhead, like weight lifting. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long do you need to be off work after bunion surgery?
It takes 3 months to recover. If you have a sit job, you could work in a few days in a boot if you can prop your foot up. The more standing or physical labor you do, the longer you will have to be off of work. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Fractured forearm issues?
Extremely difficult question to answer without knowing more detail. However, if the muscles were very badly damaged or infected, they had to be removed. Get a second opinion. Look up an orthopedic surgeon who has a fellowship training in hand surgery. Try this website: https://www7.aaos.org/member/directory/search.aspx?directory=public. Good luck. Hope it helps!!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What is the best brace to wear after hand surgery?
The most common brace is a fabric or canvas brace with plastic or metal stiffener with velcro straps. It keeps your wrist still. One of these can be purchased at Walmart or Target. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Why do the bottoms of my feet hurt when walking?
There are a hundred reasons, so I'll give you the top few. Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, metatarsalgia, over weight, tendonitis, and Morton's neuroma. Try something simple. Change your shoe wear. Make sure you get a tennis shoe with a good arch support that is well padded. If you're flatfoot, get a pair that are "antipronation" feature. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How do you fix a dislocated foot?
Depends on what part of the foot you're talking about. For many dislocations, the joint can be placed back in position by manually pulling. READ MORE
