HOLISTIC POSTOPERATIVE FOOT & ANKLE FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION

SPECIAL GUESTS - A DAY IN THEATRE FOR MY NON-SURGICAL SUPPORT TEAM Was great to have "special guests", my own long suffering, hard working secretary @lizzie_hunter01 and podiatrist Helen from @inspire__podiatry who has helped me with my countless post op and foot and ankle patients all these years. They came to theatre to get a glimpse of how surgeries/operating theatres function, so hopefully they can understand, empathise and work better with our patients pre and post op. Helen just wanted to see a total ankle replacement 🤪.

Don't think I'll ever be a movie star, but it was fun to be under the cameras again to help make some videos on various arthroscopic, toe fusions and flat feet reconstruction procedures.

It was a pleasure to head up to Hervey Bay to help my friend and colleague, Dr. Navi Bali, with his total ankle replacements.

Our ankle replacements continue to perform well. This particular patient is only eight weeks post-op and is walking with no pain.

Dr Gerald Yeo was kindly invited to talk about his experience in private practice so far.

I was kindly invited by Stryker recently to introduce and teach our new up & coming surgeons on foot and ankle surgical techniques utilising sports medicine equipment for repairs of lateral ligaments, tendon reconstructions and minimally invasive or keyhole surgery.

Like all joint replacements, over time, ankle replacements can fail as well. Recent versions of total ankle replacements did have higher failure rates due to the plastic or bearing surfaces as well as the design of the implants.
