Teen years are crucial for athletic development, but they’re also
high-risk for injuries that can have lasting consequences.

Common youth sports injuries:

ACL tears

Growth plate injuries

Stress fractures

Joint instability

My approach with young patients:

Comprehensive assessment of the injury
Understanding growth and development stage
Evaluating sport-specific demands
Creating treatment plans that support both healing AND continued development
Clear return-to-sport protocols

Parents: If your teenager experiences persistent pain, swelling, or reduced performance, don’t dismiss it as “growing pains.”

Early specialist assessment prevents minor issues from becoming career-ending injuries.

Your Hip: The Foundation of Mobility

When Accidents Happen: Trauma Care That Gets You Back

Trauma injuries cause pain, disability, and disruption; but prompt, expert diagnosis and treatment make all the difference.

My trauma expertise includes:

Complex fracture fixation
Pelvic and lower limb trauma
Sports-related acute injuries
Post-traumatic arthritis
Multi-trauma cases

My experience of working and leading teams at major trauma centres, I understand that trauma care isn’t just about fixing what’s broken.

· Restoring function and mobility

Whether you’re 18 or 80, trauma injuries require specialised

Living with Arthritis: You Have More Options Than You Think

53% of Irish adults over 75 experience arthritis.

But arthritis isn’t just an “old age” condition and it doesn’t mean accepting a life limited by pain. The HSE’s recent Hip and Knee OA Pathway showed that out of 1,856 patients referred:
Only 3.5% needed consultant appointments Less than 1% required surgery immediately

What helped the rest? → Structured exercise programs → Weight management support → Education about the condition → Targeted interventions

My approach to arthritis:

Accurate Diagnosis – Understanding your specific type and stage
Conservative Treatment First – Exercise, lifestyle, targeted therapies
Advanced Options – PRP, injections, minimally invasive procedures
Surgical Excellence – When joint replacement becomes the best option

Your Weekend Shouldn’t Cost You the Week

Football on Saturday, can’t walk on Monday! Overdid it in gym on Sunday, knee screaming by Tuesday. Sound familiar?

Weekend warriors account for a significant portion of sports injuries I treat and most are preventable.

· Common weekend warrior injuries:

· Achilles tendon issues

· Ankle sprains

· Knee ligament tears

· Overuse injuries

The problem isn’t staying active (please do!).

The problem is:

Inadequate warm-up
Sudden intensity spikes
Poor recovery practices
Ignoring early warning signs

If you’re experiencing joint or muscle pain after activity that
doesn’t resolve in 48-72 hours, it’s time for professional assessment.

Early diagnosis prevents minor injuries from becoming major problems.

Understanding Your Knee: When to Seek Specialist Care

Your knee is the largest joint in your body and one of the most complex.

Signs you shouldn’t ignore:

⚠️ Clicking/locking sensations

⚠️ Reduced range of motion

⚠️ Pain that worsens with activity

ACL/MCL tears
Meniscal injuries
Patellofemoral syndrome
Arthritis (all ages)
Sports-related trauma
Overuse injuries

With advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options from
physiotherapy to arthroscopy to joint replacement, most knee
conditions can be successfully managed.

The worst thing you can do is to ignore issues, suffer in silence and let a treatable condition worsen.

I’m too young for hip/knee problems”.

We hear this weekly from patients in their 30s and 40s.

The truth? Orthopaedic conditions don’t discriminate by age.

Sports injuries strike athletes at peak performance; repetitive strain affects workers in their prime, early-onset arthritis can begin before 40 and overuse injuries impact active individuals

Over 75,000 hip and knee procedures were performed in Ireland between 2010-2019 and the majority of patients waiting for treatment are between 50-70.

But intervention often begins much earlier.

The key? Don’t ignore persistent joint pain, stiffness, or
instability, regardless of your age.

Modern diagnostics can identify issues early, when treatment options are most effective and least invasive.

Prevention starts with assessment. Call us to book your consultation.

Arthritis doesn’t mean giving up movement.

The HSE encourages safe, guided activity for people with hip and knee arthritis as movement helps maintain strength, balance, and joint function.

With the right plan, many patients stay active through:
• Walking & low-impact exercise
• Strength and mobility programmes
• Targeted treatments to reduce pain

The goal is to keep you moving confidently and comfortably, for as long as possible.
