| Arthroscopic
Treatment of Knee Injuries |
By:
Michael Greller, MD, FAAOS
The knee
joint is the most easily injured joint and with so many
parts working together to provide mobility and speed,
injuries can occur. In the past, many athletes and others
simply learned to live with their knee pain. Today these
individuals have a wide variety of medical treatments
and surgical procedures as options. Surgery is always
the last option; however arthroscopic surgical treatments
have become significantly more advanced in recent years,
and can reduce or eliminate knee pain for almost anyone,
with a surprisingly short recovery time.

Injuries from Winter Recreation |
By
Gregg S. Berkowitz, MD, FAAOS
With
winter upon us, many people participate in activities
such as snow skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating.
The very conditions that makes these activities possible
and enjoyable, reduced friction, also make falls and
injuries very common. Winter sports injuries get a lot
of attention at hospital emergency rooms and doctor’s
offices, and include sprains, strains, dislocations
and fractures (broken bones). In 2004, the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission reported 49,600 injuries from
ice skating, 143,990 injuries from snowboarding and
144,379 injuries from snow skiing.

| Arthritis
and Joint Replacement Surgery |
By Alan
S.Nasar, MD
Joint replacement
surgery has increased in popularity over the last five years.
People have become more involved with sports, exercise, and
recreational activities and are staying active later in life.
These patients often have old joint injuries that never healed
completely, and others have had arthroscopic surgery. At a
certain point, the pain, stiffness, and other symptoms in
their joints begin to limit function and patients’ ability
to participate in the activities that they enjoy. There are
many non-operative treatments for arthritis and joint pain;
however many patients with arthritis eventually require joint
replacement surgery to regain function in their injured or
worn out joints.. >more

By John
A. O’Connell, MD, FAAPMR
You're just finishing
your Saturday morning bike ride. It's been a long busy week
at work and the ride really helped you blow off some steam.
As you reach down to get your water bottle you feel a sharp
snap in your back, like you've just been stabbed. You're barely
able to get back in the house and on the couch. The rest of
the weekend is spent resting, taking pain relievers and trying
to get better. By Monday, you feel well enough to go to work
but just as your back pain is beginning to ease up, your leg
feels like it's been stuck in an electrical socket. You think
you'd rather just have the back pain; you just want that leg
pain to go away.…>more
