Introduction

During limb lengthening surgery, the doctor cuts through the bone to be lengthened and inserts an external fixator to stabilize it. This procedure relies on the body's natural ability to grow new bones, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissues. A titanium rod is inserted, gradually increasing and stretching as it is absorbed into the body, resulting in a few extra inches of height.

Hi, I am 14 years old and I have had pain in my knee for months now and I am a gymnast and sometimes when I land there is a shot of pain that goes straight through my kneecap and it feels like it just breaks and then it will hurt for about 5 minutes and then I will be fine. I can’t lunge or squat without it hurting and we have tried a lot of things but nothing is working. Thanks!

Female | 14

It can cause pain around the kneecap that worsens with activities like jumping or squatting. Contact a specialist to get it checked thoruoghly. You need to rest your knee to avoid pain and activities that aggravate your symptoms. Try using ice packs or a cold compress for 10-15 minutes to help reduce pain and swelling.

Hello! My name is Sergey, and I am a close acquaintance of the patient who has sent you this inquiry regarding consultation for implantation. The patient is 37 years old and sustained an injury 6 years ago due to the fall of a heavy object. Several surgeries were performed, and the amputation of the left big toe was carried out. In this regard, we would like to inquire if you have a solution for this issue. We are interested in proceeding with the procedure of implanting an artificial toe with load-bearing functionality. Best regards!

Male | 37

One balance and mobility issue that might arise with a patient losing their toe is that they would have an imbalance. We know the pain and suffering that occurs after such an injury, and the patients are aware of this too. For the patients, your friend, and people such as him, artificial toe prosthetics have been developed which could give back some of the lost functions. A fake toe is sure to offer load-bearing support and improve the overall quality of life. We suggest a consultation with some orthopedic prosthesis field experts so that they can discuss with you which alternative is the right one for your friend. By such a means of professional advice, the best solutions will be gained.

To reduce the swelling, try elevating your feet, staying active, and cutting down on salty foods. Discuss this with an orthopedist for further advice.

The swelling and discomfort in your foot may be due to the healing process of your fractures and the deep wound. It's crucial to keep the area clean and protected. For topical care, consider using an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection, but please consult an orthopedist for a personalized recommendation. You may also benefit from elevation and rest to reduce swelling.

Such pain may happen due to incorrect posture, misuse of heavy objects lifting, or sitting in one place for a long time. You can try some gentle stretches, ice or heat packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary to alleviate the pain. Don't forget to take breaks and move your body to prevent stiffness. But if the pain doesn't diminish or worsen, getting further guidance from an orthopedist is prudent.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is frequently assumed to be a source of lower back and/or leg discomfort, however it is sometimes difficult to diagnose. The sacroiliac joint, which connects the triangle bone at the bottom of the spine (the sacrum) to the pelvis, can cause discomfort if its natural mobility is disrupted. More precisely, sacroiliac joint discomfort can be caused by excessive or insufficient movement.

• Leg pain produced by sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be difficult to distinguish from radiating leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (sciatica) since they can feel quite similar.

• The major reasons of SI joint dysfunction include - Too much or lack of movement.

• Too much movement in the sacroiliac joint (hypermobility or instability) can cause the pelvis to feel unstable and produce discomfort. Excessive mobility causes pain in the lower back and/or hip, which can extend into the groin, whereas lack of movement (hypomobility or fixation) can result in muscular tension, discomfort, and a reduction in mobility.

• Sacroiliac joint inflammation (sacroiliitis) can also cause pelvic discomfort and stiffness. Inflammation may arise as a result of sacroiliac joint dysfunction or as a result of an infection, rheumatoid disease, or other cause.

• There is no one-size-fits-all solution for controlling SI joint discomfort. For successful pain management, a combination of non-surgical therapies is frequently required.

• Treatment includes – resting for 1 to 2 days, applying ice or heat (applying it to lower back reduces inflammation and alleviates pain and discomfort; applying around the joint provides relief from pain), pain relievers like paracetamol and inflammation treating agents such as NSAID’s are recommended in case of mild or moderate pain relief. Muscle relaxants or high-end pain killers can be prescribed in case of episodes of severe and acute pain, Manual manipulation can be effective if sacroiliac joint pain is caused due to too little movement, Support or braces can be used to stabilize the pelvic area and sacroiliac joint injections such as anaesthetics such as lidocaine along with anti-inflammatory medicine like corticosteroids are given to reduce inflammation and pain.

Consult an Orthopedics for further investigations and customised treatment.

You’ve probably got a wrist fracture, which is a minor crack in the bone. It is swelling because the body is working on repairing it. To help, you might need a cast or splint to immobilize your wrist so that it can heal. Rest, ice, elevate the arm, and take painkillers as directed. Ensure you visit an orthopedist for proper treatment.
