  • Fractured forearm issues?

    First, it makes no sense. Why would he cut any tendons? I suggest a second opinion. There is something missing in the info here. READ MORE

  • How to treat a child's fractured arm?

    These injuries are usually treated by orthopedic surgeons. The treatment depends on the bone involved and the fracture pattern. Most of the time, there will some form of immobilization such as a cast or brace until the bone is healed enough to start movement. On average, this will be about six weeks. She may require a procedure to realign the bone and, in some cases, metallic fixation will be indicated to hold the fracture in place until it heals. READ MORE

  • Swollen Ankle After A Tibial Plateau Fracture?

    Some swelling is normal but if it extends to the calf and is painful you should seek immediate evaluation to rule out a blood clot. These questions must always come with a disclaimer because there is no way to fully assess your condition in this forum. I recommend you call your surgeon and ask for advice. I also assume that you are an adult and not 6 years old as stated in the question. READ MORE

  • Can my repetitive strain injury be treated with arthroscopy?

    Usually, repetitive strain injuries involve tendons which are usually treated with relative rest and physical therapy. READ MORE

  • What could be causing my son's back pain?

    Yes. Persistent back pain is not normal for a 12 year old even if they are active in sports. READ MORE

  • Is tennis elbow a chronic condition?

    Usually, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) will resolve with relative rest and physical therapy. You might talk with a tennis coach to check your technique and racquet. Some physicians have had success treating this condition with a platelet enriched plasma injection though the results are mixed in the ortho literature. Rarely, this condition will require a surgical procedure but that is the last resort. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for carpal tunnel syndrome to go away?

    If you pay attention to the cause, it may resolve. For example, changing the position of your desk or keyboard if you spend a lot of time typing on the computer. Many patients will require a simple surgical procedure to cut a ligament that will relieve the pressure on the nerve. READ MORE

  • What can I do about the labral tear in my hip?

    If it is truly a labral tear and not associated with severe arthritis you may be a candidate for hip arthroscopy to repair or remove the tear. READ MORE

  • When is shoulder surgery needed?

    He probably needs surgery. The type will depend on the condition of his cartilage, ligaments and tendons as well as his age and health. READ MORE

  • Is my knee healing properly?

    I advise my patients to use their crutches until they can reliably bear weight without the knee giving way. Most are stable by two weeks but occasionally a patient will need to use them a bit longer. READ MORE

  • How long does a knee replacement surgery take?

    An hour or so. READ MORE

  • How do I prepare for a bone density test?

    No, but don't consume calcium supplements for 24 hours prior to your test. READ MORE

  • Can surgery help in treating rheumatoid arthritis?

    These days rheumatologists have a variety of medications they prescribe to relieve the pain and inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Untreated, RA can result in permanent severe structural joint damage that is treated with joint replacement surgery which is usually successful and can greatly reduce pain and improve function but the goal is to get treated before it gets that bad. Patient's with RA suffer from an inflammatory autoimmune reaction that is mediated through the synovial lining of your tendons and joints. There are many medications that can suppress this immune process and prevent the damage while also relieving the pain caused by inflammation. READ MORE
