A blow to the outside of the knee can injure the ligament on the inside. That inward force can stretch or tear the #MCL, with injuries ranging from mild sprains to complete tears. Proper evaluation helps determine the extent. https://t.co/k8HAMmqWCB #kneepain #sportsmedicine

Age matters when considering #ShoulderReplacement. Since artificial joints can wear over time, the procedure is generally reserved for patients over 50. Younger, active patients may be candidates for joint-preserving alternatives. https://t.co/AqurDAjPO9 #shouldercare

Infection, implant loosening and dislocation are possible complications of shoulder replacement. A new injury, including a fall or fracture, can also compromise the prosthesis. Here is what else you should know ➡️ https://t.co/8D32jyRNVF #ShoulderReplacement

#CartilageRestoration can take several forms. #Microfracture, #osteochondral grafting and autologous chondrocyte implantation are among the techniques used to address damaged cartilage in the knee. https://t.co/fQEmjM0AlQ #KneePain #KneeInjury #KneeSurgery #SportsMedicine

Timing is a critical component of #multiligament #kneereconstruction. Surgery w/in the first two weeks may help identify normal anatomy before scar tissue develops. Injury severity tissue condition & neurovascular concerns also shape the surgical strategy. https://t.co/xqKvAEEEAp

A torn #biceps doesn't always happen at the shoulder. Tears can occur where the tendon attaches at the shoulder or elbow. Age and #rotatorcuff problems can contribute to shoulder tears, while strenuous activity can cause elbow tears. https://t.co/ldr3umOvRT #bicepstendon

#ACLreconstruction involves more than replacing a torn ligament. Graft selection is an important part of surgical planning. Surgeons may use the patient's own tissue or donor tissue based on individual needs and activity demands. https://t.co/IW5Yq09rDD #kneeinjury #kneesurgery

#Bowlegged or #knockkneed alignment? A deformity on imaging is only part of the story.

Treatment depends on your pain, joint stability & functional goals. Many patients thrive with non-surgical care like bracing and rehab before surgery is considered. https://t.co/cUDCLZ86Hp
