Treating the image without understanding the underlying pathology leads to the wrong operation. From SLAP lesions to #Bankart repairs, tailoring treatment to the patient makes all the difference in shoulder stability. medilink.us/722m #labraltear #SLAPtear #orthotwitter
When arthritis affects only part of the knee, a #TotalKneeReplacement may not always be necessary. #Patellofemoral #arthroplasty replaces the damaged joint behind the kneecap while preserving healthy parts of the knee. Learn more ➡️ medilink.us/svi1 #sportsmedicine
What are the symptoms of #frozenshoulder? #AdhesiveCapsulitis unfolds in three distinct stages: Freezing (stiffness and pain), Frozen (persistent stiffness, lessening pain), and Thawing (gradual return of motion over time). Learn more ➡️ medilink.us/xkp4 #shoulderpain
Exploring surgical options for #knee #arthritis? Treatments range from arthroscopic cleanup and #microfracture stimulation to cartilage transfer and #osteotomy alignment, helping reduce pain and restore activity levels. medilink.us/deyg
“Nothing can be done.” After a failed #rotatorcuff repair, Keith heard those words, but he did not stop looking for answers. At 64, a revision repair gave him full motion and his active life back. Sometimes hope starts with a #secondopinion. medilink.us/m5ab #patientcare
Common signs a #shoulderstabilization may need a check-up: ongoing pain, instability or slipping, recurring dislocations, weakness, and difficulty with overhead tasks. Every recovery is unique so don't hesitate to check in with your care team! medilink.us/d0y8
Excellent patient care goes far beyond the operating room. This #PAWeek, we celebrate the clinical partnership, trust & expertise that Jasmin Schmitz, Tess Holbrook & Ali Bakowski bring to our patients every day. Thanks for being exceptional team members! medilink.us/sl5u
Torn MCL? Surgery may not be necessary. The #MCL can often heal with nonsurgical treatment. But if the knee remains unstable or other ligaments are injured, surgery may be considered. The MRI is only part of the picture. medilink.us/gtkz #KneeInjury #KneePain
From surgery to full recovery: #ACLeconstruction involves a knee brace, crutches & dedicated #physicaltherapy. Partnering with sports medicine experts helps most patients get back to athletic activities in 6-9 months. medilink.us/yc99 #ACL #kneesurgery #kneereconstrution
#TBT - Dr. Provencher joins the Nailed It Ortho Podcast to break down recurrent anterior #shoulderinstability. From physical exam red flags and glenoid track assessment to distal tibia allografts, don't miss this deep dive. 🎙️ Listen now 👉 medilink.us/szpt #medtwitter
After #shoulderstabilization surgery, recovery is a process. Expect 3–6 weeks of immobilization, followed by rehab to restore motion and strength. Most patients return to daily activities in 4–6 months, with improvement continuing for a year or more. medilink.us/s9ll
#ACL injuries can range from a sprain to a partial or complete tear. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, limited motion and instability. Some patients also feel or hear a “pop” when the injury occurs. Knowing the extent of the injury matters. medilink.us/bhxc #kneeinjury
#Rotatorcuff repairs can restore shoulder function, but some tendons re-tear after surgery. Revision repair can address recurrent tears and help restore strength and stability. When possible, arthroscopic surgery may mean less pain and a quicker recovery. medilink.us/6g1e
#Shoulder #arthritis doesn’t always mean joint replacement, especially for younger, active patients. Depending on the damage, treatment may focus on preserving the natural shoulder & repairing damaged cartilage or bone. Native joint preservation matters. medilink.us/x2vb
#TBT - “Like a pack of fighting mongooses.” A surprising comparison from a grateful patient and a memorable way to describe Dr. Provencher and his team. Relentless. United. Determined. We’ll gladly take that compliment. medilink.us/y343 #patientsfirst #patientstory
Total knee replacements aren't always the ideal first step, especially for younger, active patients. Discover how advanced surgical treatments for knee osteoarthritis can help delay or eliminate the need for replacement ➡️ medilink.us/8pjt #KneePain #SportsMedicine
When multiple #kneeligaments are torn, treatment must address the whole knee. Surgery is often performed early, but significant swelling may require waiting until the knee is ready. The goal is to restore stability, mobility and function. medilink.us/qaxa #tornligament
