Remember good information is the corner stone to understanding your condition or disease.

 Some of the surgeries that a local orthopedic surgeon might perform include hip replacement or knee replacements due to arthritis, ankylosing spondylosis surgery, gout surgery and thumb arthritis surgery. The meniscus is often injured as athletes attempt a twisting or weight-bearing motion (other common knee injuries from sports include ACL and MCL injury). Meniscus injuries are more common for people over the age of 30, as the meniscus weakens as we age. They can also occur as a result of diseases such as osteoarthritis. Symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain on one side of the knee, localized swelling, loss of range of motion and a sensation of the hip locking or not being able to straighten it completely. If surgery is required, an orthopedic surgeon will perform arthroscopic surgery to prevent further damage to the knee. Meniscus surgery is generally a day procedure, with patients going home on crutches. The recovery time is usually around two weeks.

Please contact ( Dr. Stephen Maloon, Local Orthopedic Surgeon Surrey, BC ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients. A local Orthopedic Surgeon treats carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The median nerve gives feeling to the thumb, the index finger, the long finger, and half of the ring finger. The carpal tunnel is covered by a ligament called a transverse retinacular ligament. When there is swelling in this area, it puts pressure onto the retinaculum, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome.   Always talk with your Local Orthopedic Surgeon about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments and procedures the Local Orthopedic Surgeon  could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you.

Recovery after knee replacement surgery typically involves a period of physical therapy and rehabilitation to help regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the knee joint. Most people experience significant pain relief and improvement in their ability to perform daily activities after undergoing knee replacement surgery. However, it's important to note that individual outcomes may vary, and the success of the procedure depends on various factors, including the individual's overall health and adherence to post-operative care instructions.

Quiz: Do You Understand Hip Replacement?

Questions
True
False
1

An artificial hip joint may contain ceramic and/or metal but never plastic.

Explanation:

During hip replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the painful joint and replaces it with an artificial hip joint made from plastic, ceramic and/or metal.

2

Your healthcare provider will likely recommend that you wait as long as possible to have hip replacement surgery.

Explanation:

A very common question patients ask is when should I have a hip replacement? Your healthcare provider will likely recommend that you wait as long as possible to have the surgery. Typically, hip replacement surgery is done when other arthritis treatments don’t work. At this point, patients have noticed their pain has gradually gotten worse, even when they're resting or sleeping.

3

The hip replacement procedure involves the femur.

Explanation:

The hip replacement procedure involves replacing the ball at the top of the femur (thigh bone) and the hip socket. The surgeon will either cement the artificial hip joint to the bone or use a part with a porous coating that the bone grows into.

4

Loosening of the new hip joint is not a risk of hip replacement surgery.

Explanation:

The success rate of hip replacement surgery is high, but there are some risks, including infection, blood clots, dislocation and loosening of the new hip joint.

5

You may take blood thinners before your surgery, but you won't be prescribed them following the procedure.

Explanation:

Following your surgery, you may wear compression stockings or take blood thinners to prevent blood clots. You will begin physical therapy in the hospital, and should continue with a physiotherapist once you leave.

    Still waiting for referral for specialist because Dr Maloon said he couldn’t help me and would refer me to a Dr at Royal Columbian. This was well over a year ago.

    Cold and uncaring, he told me either I get highly invasive back surgery to fuse my spine, or keep living in pain every single day. Offered NO other option but to suck it up, as well as contradicted the other specialists who had seen me prior. Stay away from this crusty old Dr. who is not did not get the majority of his schooling in Canada, but his knowledge is so antiquated he only knows what he learned over 4 decades ago. Stay far, far away, request a real specialist. You'll be glad you did.
