Walking on ice is not easy ❄️
One of the simplest ways to avoid a fall (and a fracture) is to walk like a penguin 🐧:
✔️ Take small, slow steps
✔️ Keep your feet slightly turned out
✔️ Keep your center of gravity over your front leg
✔️ Hands out of pockets for balance
✔️ Wear footwear with good traction
A little adjustment in how you walk can make a big difference this winter.
Friendly tip from your orthopaedic surgeon next door — stay upright, stay safe. 🦴❄️

Medication & Supplement Awareness Orthopaedic Sport Institute
Did you know that certain medications may affect how your body uses key nutrients?
Here are a few general points to discuss with your healthcare provider:

💊 Statins (for cholesterol):
Some people ask about Co-enzyme Q10 and whether it may help with muscle symptoms.

💊 Metformin (for diabetes):
Long-term use can sometimes affect vitamin B12 levels, so checking levels may be helpful.

💊 Calcium + Vitamin D:
These nutrients work as a team, and some patients also ask about the role of Vitamin K2.
⚠️ Important: Vitamin K2 is not appropriate for people taking blood thinners like warfarin or Coumadin, so always check first.

Always talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare team before starting any supplement—your individual health situation matters.

Orthopaedic surgeons are the sophisticated ones in the hospital.
I mean… anyone can use a hammer.
But we use a mallet.
And when we need to remove bone, do we grab a “scooper”?
Absolutely not.
We reach for a rougeur and a curette—because our tools are French and therefore automatically classy.
We’re not just fixing bones…
We’re doing orthopaedic haute couture. 🥖🔧😂
