Did you know that Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of joint pain and mobility issues in Ireland? A recent study found a prevalence of ≈ approximately 12.9% among those aged 50 and above (women, 17.3%; men, 9.4%). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26105959/
If you or your patient is struggling with hip, knee, or ankle pain
that’s impacting day-to-day life, now may be the time to evaluate your options.

My philosophy: deliver a bespoke plan rooted in the best evidence always with the aim of returning you to full function as efficiently and safely as possible.

Many of us know that alcohol has general health risks, but did you know it can actively hinder sports injury recovery?

According to HSE guidance:
• Alcohol increases bleeding and swelling in soft tissue injuries
• It impairs sleep quality (limiting growth hormone release)
• It can mask pain and delay seeking appropriate care
• Dehydration and electrolyte disruption further compromise healing

Bottom line: if you’re recovering from a sports injury, it’s wise to
moderate or avoid alcohol until you’re fully healed.

Recent Irish research examined injury rates among student-athletes in Gaelic football, hurling, football, and rugby.

Key findings:
• Over one in four student-athletes sustained an injury in an academic season
• Male athletes had higher rates compared with females
• Lower limb injuries accounted for nearly 70% of all cases

These data reaffirm what we see clinically: lower extremities are
vulnerable, and prevention/early rehab strategies deserve high
priority.

At our Dublin clinic, we integrate evidence with individualised plans, whether you’re a student athlete, club player, or returning to fitness after a break.

“From sidelined to running again: a patient journey”

A young athlete presented after a twist injury to the knee, complaining of clicking, pain deep in the joint, and difficulty with pivoting movements.

After imaging and clinical exam, a partial meniscal tear was diagnosed. Rather than rush to surgery, we started with a structured rehabilitation program (physio, strengthening, controlled loading).

After 8–12 weeks, symptoms improved and the patient gradually returned to sport. We continue to monitor closely, with the option of arthroscopic intervention if symptoms recur.

Why this matters: not every knee injury demands immediate surgery.
Many respond well to a careful, staged plan. But the key is early diagnosis + tailored management.

Our blog post now live: Understanding Meniscal Tears https://lnkd.in/e2JXGRMh

Meniscal injuries are common — and sometimes subtle. In the blog I break down:
• What the meniscus actually does
• Common mechanisms of injury
• Key symptoms to watch for
• When conservative management may suffice, and when surgical opinions
are warranted

As an orthopaedic surgeon based in Dublin, my goal is always to choose
the least invasive, evidence-based approach first — but with full
regard to your functional goals, sport demands, and quality of life.

njuries don’t just happen to elite athletes - they happen to weekend warriors, club players, and those returning to sport after a break.

In Ireland, one in three visits to HSE minor injury clinics relate to
sports-type injuries (sprains, fractures, strains).

At my Dublin practice, we see a spectrum: from hamstring strains and shin splints to ACL tears and labral injuries.

Here are three simple steps you can take now to reduce your risk:

1. Warm up thoroughly (dynamic stretches, activation drills)

2. Build strength and flexibility gradually — don’t jump intensity too fast

3. Use proper footwear, technique, and recovery (rest, sleep, nutrition)

Prevention is better than cure — but if things do go wrong, early
assessment and management matter.

Most hip fractures happen in older adults after falls. Simple steps like removing trip hazards, adding handrails, and balance exercises make a big difference. Falls assessments are now a standard part of hip fracture care in Ireland.
