WILD WOMEN OF COASTREK

WILD WOMEN OF COASTREK

Brisbane Orthopaedic Specialist Services was proud to sponsor a team that entered The Wild Women On Top Coastrek.


What is Coastrek?

The Coastrek is a 30 and 60-kilometre team trekking challenge to raise money to restore sight.


Trekkers fundraise and raise money to help eliminate avoidable blindness by walking along some of Australia’s most beautiful coastlines.


Sydney Coastrek is an annual event supporting the Fred Hollows Foundation and allows the Foundation to continue its vital work to end avoidable blindness.


Coastrek Route

The trek, starting at sunrise, took our team of four “Angels” through pristine national parks, secret coves, stunning beaches, Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, and past other iconic landmarks.


The trek was 30 km from Rushcutters Bay to Tania Park near Manly Beach, and thankfully, we couldn’t have asked for better weather.


The BOSS Team

The four girls spent 12 weeks training with regular Sunday morning long-distance walks along the Brisbane River. This did not really prepare us very well for the ups and downs of a coastal walk, and our tracking devices registered around 36 kilometres on the day.


Completing the trek and raising money for this worthy cause was a great achievement.

SPECIAL GUESTS - A DAY IN THEATRE FOR MY NON-SURGICAL SUPPORT TEAM

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.

WE CAN NOW REVISE TOTAL ANKLE REPLACEMENTS!

By Gerald Yeo • October 27, 2023
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.
