Your Knee Your Health - Can I Do Too Much After a Total Knee Replacement?
play

03/18/22 • 11 min

This is a common question many patients have - can I do too much?
It depends. It is rare to do so much that you harm yourself. On average you should see less pain, less swelling and better function.
If you are ahead of schedule and have more symptoms back off 10%. But if you are behind, even though you are having more pain, you may need to push harder.
This is where your therapist and care team come in handy. By working with you they can guide you on how to balance your symptoms and your recovery.

Covid is once again ravaging the world and the healthcare systems that people depend on. The United States spends more per person than any other country in the world yet the US does not have the best health metrics.
Covid has not helped. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Doctors, nurses and other hospital workers are at the breaking point. PPE is still limited. Elective surgeries are cancelled. Wait times are longer than ever.
The future is bleak. Many have left the profession of healthcare. I doubt many people will look eagerly to enter medical school, nursing school or some other hospital based profession. Patients will still need care. The ability to access care will be compromised. Wait times will be longer. Patients will suffer. The future is coming but it will be different and the effects of covid will leave a stain on healthcare systems for a long time.

Your Knee Your Health - Leg Length Discrepancy

Leg Length Discrepancy

Your Knee Your Health

play

12/03/21 • 14 min

Some people are born with a leg length discrepancy. Some have an injury, like a fracture, which can lead to the limb being short or long. Many patients with arthritis will have the leg shorten, even if they are not aware of it. At the time of surgery the goal is to fix the knee or hip and make it stable. Patients may feel long after surgery. For many this resolves in a number of weeks. Some may continue to feel long, especially if they have spine issues. Sometimes to make the hip or knee stable the leg may have to be lengthened on purpose otherwise the knee or hip would be unstable which could lead to problems such as a dislocation
